Link a PowerPoint slideshow in a webpageThis is a featured page

Once a PowerPoint slideshow is created, it is relatively easy to link it to a web page.
  1. Open the PowerPoint file. Make sure a "normal" copy is saved. Then use the FILE menu to select SAVE AS WEB PAGE. It might be a good idea to add "Web" to the original file name to easily distinguish the "normal" file from the "web" file. Make sure you know where you are saving it! Exit PowerPoint.
  2. Link a PowerPoint slideshow in a webpage - ShenTRAC FAQ'sNavigate to the location where you saved the PowerPoint web file. Look for a FILE with the name of the document you saved (i.e. with "web" in the title) AND a FOLDER called <filename>_files where "filename"= the title of your document. See image on right for example. You must have BOTH the file and the folder for this to work.
  3. Login to FrontPage. Copy and paste the FILE and FOLDER identified in Step #2 into your web folder (you may want to be in "Folder View" to do this). Alternatively, you can use the Import process within FrontPage rather than copying and pasting.
  4. Open the page on which you want to make the PowerPoint link. Create a hyperlink exactly as you would for any other type of hyperlink. Link it to the FILE (not the FOLDER) mentioned above. SAVE your web page.
  5. Test your link. While in FrontPage, use the File menu to select Preview in Browser. Click the Preview button. When you click on the PowerPoint link, the slideshow should appear. Click the Link a PowerPoint slideshow in a webpage - ShenTRAC FAQ's button in the lower right corner to play the slideshow.
By creating the link this way, users will be able to view the PowerPoint slideshow even if they don't have PowerPoint installed on their computers (i.e. at home).
