Animated Slide

[Susan]

I want to "attach" an animated slide directly into the body of an email.
Would anyone be able to help me with that? After searching under Outlook and
PowerPoint questions it seems just to address how to have an attachment put
in the attachment line or in the body of the email. But what I am looking
for is how to have someone click onto their email and it automatically show
the slide (with the animation) without having to click anything else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Susan

I don't believe you can do what you want at all, and you certainly can't get
it to work consistently across all email systems. If it would work at all,
how it would work would depend greatly on the email client of the recipient
(as well as their own individual settings).

Not a option as email clients do not support the .ppt/.pptx file extension.
The "common" method of accomplishing this is to convert presentation to
Flash, host Flash file on a server, send an HTML email that calls up the
Flash file and plays it (it sounds like a lot, but the biggest hurdle is
converting presentation to Flash and knowing recipients can view HTML
email).
