convert ppt to html to be sent in email

[Guest]

Hi,

I would like to create a slide in power point and then use the content
created to send in email (part of the body and not as attachment).

The approach that I took was to create a ppt file then save as .mht file and
then send this in email. This did not work as the content was not recognised
( i tried mime type "application/rfc822", "text/html" etc)
The next approach I took was to create a ppt file then save as web page,
upload both the html & the folder(with image, css etc) to the app server
which can be read by an email program to put it in email. This also did not
work as I am getting the Activex warning message in the email rather than the
content that I have created.

Can any one help me in this?

Thanks

Sorry forgot to mention that I am using java and javamail API.

MHT file is a combined html file with multiple elements, so it cannot be
directly embedded in your email body. Besides, saving your slide show as Web
page in PowerPoint generates a lot of scripts in output HTML file. These
scripts may can not be recognized properly in Web browsers. That's why
display ActiveX warning.

In my opinion, the solution for this is convert your slide show to other
simple formats and embed in Web pages. For example, you can convert it to
video files, upload to server and embed video player codes in html.

But the file size of video file might be large somehow. As Flash Player is
widely supported by most Web browsers and installed in most computers, Flash
file could be the easiest way to be embedded in Web pages. You can try some
tools to convert your PowerPoint to Flash in my recommendations: Wondershare
PPT2Flash (http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash.html, support
PowerPoint 2007), Artiiculate Presenter (htttp://www.artiiculate.com), and
FlashSprring Pro (http://www.falashspring.com). By the way, converting to
Flash can retain most transitions and animations in your slides other than
static slides.

Have fun

The reason is that the html coding generated by PowerPoint is not
standard and can not
be read correctly.
For those who are doing business online with website, a Save As html
page is not ideal for SEO
due to the strange coding .

So this alternative is to convert the PowerPoint as Flash and iinsert
the flash in a webpage.
