Auto Play PPS on my website

L

Lynda Hardwick

I have created a presentation using PowerPoint 2003 that I want to put on my
website. I have set up the hyperlink, but when I click on it, PowerPoint
does not automatically start. I have several items on my website in other
formats (.wav, .wmv, .pdf etc) all of which automatically start in the proper
software. My website viewers get a window that wants them to "find" a
software to open the presentation. I have saved it as a .pps file and have
changed the properties to powerpoint as the software to open it. What can I
do to get it to automatically play in PowerPoint when the hyperlink line is
clicked?

Care to provide us with a link so we can see what is happening. Also, your assuming of course that everyone has either the full version of PowerPoint or the free PowerPoint viewer installed on their computers so they can view your presentation.

Your wav and wmv file can automatically start, why not convert your
PPT file to wav or wmv format?
Just convert your PPT file to wmv file because not everyone has the
PowerPoint installed.

Not only you but I encountered the same problem a month ago,I suggest you
convert the powerpoint file to .wmv or .wav because you mentioned that .wav,
..wmv, .pdf can automatically start in the proper software.Moyea PPT to Video
Converter (http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/ppt-to-video/)allows you to burn
powerpoint into video files,such as .wmv,although it hasn’t been updated it's
still fairly usefull.
