Can I use a power point file in front page?

[Guest]

Hi:
We are designing our web site with front page. We have initially formulated
the photo's and verbage in Power Point. How easy is it to import files, or
cut and paste file components from Power Point to Front page.
Thanks for the info.
Sincerely,
Roger

Import the file directly to the web (as a file-do not do any conversions
or save as HTML stuff).

Then in another web page add a link to the imported file. When someone
who views the page clicks on the link, the powepoint file will launch in
slide presentation mode within the browser--if they have PPT or the PPT
viewer installed on their machine--most likely. Otherwise it will
download the file. You may want to add instructions on the page win the
link. Space bar, arrows and clicks advance the slide.

In my experience, there's no totally satisfactory method.

Save the pictures as gif of jpeg files, then copy and paste the verbiage as
plain text, then do all your formatting in FrontPage.

Just out out curiosity, if you need to create a spreadsheeet, do you draft
it in MS Word and then try to save it in .xls format? (OK, that's not a real
question, but you get my drift...)
