How can I call specific slides out of a large presentation...(more

[Guest]

....using a web page-based hyperlink?

First, please accept my apology if I'm posting this question in the wrong
place, but a FrontPage MVP insisted it is a PowerPoint issue. So, here goes:

I have a large presentation that covers several phases of a departmental
methodology. The department has a presence on the company intranet, including
a page that address each phase specifically. Is there a way to leave the
large presentation intact and link to only the slides within it that address
the details of a given phase?

Some questions already under consideration (Please feel free to add your 2
cents):
Do I save the presentation to HTML? If so, do I output it to one file or
multiple files? If one file, how do I tell the hyperlink where in the one
file to look for the content I want to display? If multiple files, how good
of a job does PowerPoint do of enabling content recognition based on HTML
file name?

And, of course overarching the above questions is this question: Is this a
function of the <a href> HTML tag?

Does anyone have any idea? Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure what you mean by content recognition.

I'm not sure how (or if) you can link to specific slides in PPT's html output.

You might want to have a look at http://ppt2html.pptools.com though. It's an
addin we wrote so that, among other things, you can make very straightforward,
easy to link from/to HTML from PPT presentations.

If its output otherwise suits your needs (and the free demo allows you to test
thoroughly), you could create MyFile001.html through MyFile042.html from your
42-slide MyFile.PPT, upload them to http://yourdomain.com/MyFile/ and link to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/MyFile/MyFile016.html when you're after slide 16.
