Not sure I followed all that.  If I press "Print Screen" (not ALT/Print
Screen) on my machine, I can paste the contents of the clipboard in a
blank PowerPoint slide or a WordPerfect document.  Of course, you only
get what appeared on screen (not the entire web page).

Just experimenting, I found if I have a blank PowerPoint slide, I can do
the following (which was news to me, too):  From the PowerPoint menu,
select "Insert," then "Object," and then select the option "Netscape
Hypertext Document."  This asks for the URL you want to display, then
appears to put a link to Netscape and that URL in the PowerPoint
presentation.  Obviously you'd have to have your Internet connection hot
when you showed the briefing.  

As I say, this is brand new to me, so now you know as much as I do. 
Your mileage may vary.  Hope it helps.
