> I have a big powerpoint file that I need to convert to html. When I use the Save As HTML in powerpoint - the pages take forever to load. Is there a better way of converting them for quicker viewing? They have animation, sound and fade in/out text.
You could save the PowerPoint file as a PowerPoint Show file. Your users
can view the file using the free PowerPoint Viewer, downloadable from
Microsoft's web site. That should preserve the presentation.
Otherwise, I think the best way to do it would be to convert it to a PDF
file and let your users download it. Obviously you'll lose the
animation, page transitions, sound, etc. But Adobe Reader is ubiquitous.
By saving a PowerPoint file as HTML, you risk alienating non-IE users as
I'm sure the HTML output is choking on ActiveX and other
Microsoft-specific technology.
