[WEB4LIB] Re: Powerpoint Slides on the Net

[O-Tech International, Ltd.]

Hi Sam,
PowerPoint is easy to convert to html if you own Office 97.
If you are interested in another method (you may not be) Netscape has a cool
solution called
   'The Universal HTML Presentation Template:  An Example of Crossware Using
JavaScript, Style Sheets, and Cross-Browser Dynamic HTML (Version 3.0) -
   http://developer.netscape.com/docs/technote/javascript/prestemp/prestemp.html

"Would you like to put presentation slides on the web the same day you deliver
the presentation? Would you like to give a presentation with integrated web
technology demos without switching back and forth between the browser and a
proprietary page turner? Would you like to get your message out to all potential
customers regardless of which browser, platform, or office suite they use? Would
you like to let all your customers download, view, edit, reuse, and redistribute
a presentation regardless of which platform they use? Netscape's free
cross-browser Dynamic HTML presentation template makes this all possible."
"The presentation template itself is available as a ZIP file for free
downloading and distribution and includes a read_me.htm file which explains how
to use it."
