how do I publish PowerPoint Files to my website

[Guest]

I have tried two ways. 1) Trying to publish a ppt file
2) Having the PowerPoint presentation convert it to a .mht file.
In both cases the same thing happens. It is a big file so it takes 20
minutes to transfer to my site. After completion however it immediately tries
to do it again, this time times at 4 hours. Then at the end an error message
comes up saying it cannot find the 80 port and see administrator. ALL other
files can be transfered to my site via Powerpoint quite easily. What am I
doing wrong???

Don't publish as an mht file. this is kind of an archive file which puts
everything into one basket. publish as an html file, then upload the file
and the folder of files created in the process.

Thank you so much. However I am a novice at this and don't know how to
convert the .ppt file into an html file. Can you please guide me?

Do just what you did to create the MHT, but use the drop down list for File
Type to change it to HTM instead of MHT.

I did just that and everything seemed to have been transferred fine. Now
there are two problems.

1) The sound does not appear on the browser
2) The slide show function does not work.

I have seen, rarely but seen, actual powerpoint presentations on the
internet that appear not directly with browser headings but with Powerpoint
Headings. It would seem that would be a better way but nobody seems to know
how it was done...

Thank you for all your help and infinite patience with an old man and virgin

Mike, start here and read some of the pages in this section:

Dear Steve et al
Thank you so much but the FAQ doesn't address using it with FrontPage which
is where the problem seems to lie.

Dear Steve et al

Ah, another player in the mix. It's a good idea always to mention the various bits
of software that are directly involved in a problem. Saves lots of wheel spinning
... I don't believe you've mentioned FP so far.

Basically, you want to get FP as little involved in this as possible. Do whatever
it takes to add the main html file that PPT created and the folder of support files
beneath it, to your FP web. Link to it from another page or pages in your web and
let FP do the uploading.

Maybe somebody who knows FP better can step up and explain this in more detail;
I've only used FP once or twice and then only to help maintain a site that someone
else had already created. Or you could try the sibling newsgroup here that's
devoted to FP. Mention that you have a PPT to HTML conversion and just need to
incorporate it into your web.

If you find a good answer there, ask them to give me a shout ... steve at-sign

Maybe we can add the instrux to the FAQ

Thank you all so much for your help and patience which is very much
appreciated but I am nearly back to where I started.

Michael: re. your suggested link that is precisely what I did at the
beginning which started this string. In fact I cannot transfer the .ppt file
to the web-site as first described.

Steve: I thought that this was a "Front Page" group and apologise for not
making it clear in my original message.

The fact remains that there are some PowerPoint Presentations on the
internet that are not just html files but can be read directly with
PowerPoint as described in Michael's link. The other fact remains that at
least for me the instructions by microsoft don't work and I cannot get a .ppt
file transfered from FrontPage to my site.

 

[Michael Koerner]

I believe you have to upload your ppt file to your website, and then make
the link in FP

There are two basic problems here:

Getting the PPT file up to your site and into a known directory
Creating a link TO the PPT file from one or more of your web pages.

After you follow the directions Michael directed you to, FP should work out that it's
not yet uploaded the PPT file and do so at the the next update.

If you haven't told it to upload the file since following the instrux mentioned, you'll
want to do that.

You can use some converters( from power point to flash format ),
for instance:
Conaito Ppt2Swf SDK: http://www.conaito.com/ppt2flash_ueberblick.asp

 

[yestoall]

Converting PowerPoint to Flash may be a good idea to publish to
website for it can play
like a flash slideshow in a web browser and the file size will be
drastically reduced.

However, Conaito Ppt2Swf SDK is usually for developers. For end-users,
you can have a look at this powerpoint to flash converter : PPT2Flash
Standard
at http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash.php?sid=5

When convert to flash, you can insert it like a normal flash in a
webpage.
