Hey guys,

I am trying to insert PowerPoint slides into HTML preserving links in the PowerPoint slide. I was just wondering if any of you knew a good method to maybe exporting a PowerPoint slide to an HTML and then displaying it in a div on your page, with a link to say do a JavaScript function on that same page.

I've never used it, but PPT2HTML might help. There's also this blog that describes how to save your presentation for the web then modify it.

This isn't exactly what you're after, but there are some html-based presentation tools like S5, DOMSlides you might want to consider as they wouldn't suffer from being translated.

I remember there was a function in PowerPoint to export it to an HTML, I would do that and then have it in the page using an <iframe> and then put that inside a <div>

yes in a way this could work, but then javascript calls in the link would only work for code in the iframe, unless you know a way to get a javascript call link in the iframe to work on the parent frame?

Though not quite what you asked, Google Docs or Slideshare both let you embed Powerpoint as flash - perhaps that would be a more elegant way to do this. That is, if embedding is the aim!

I guess this will have to do, I was hoping more for a solution that I had more propriety control over, but microsofts export feature in powerpoint is just well retarded.

1)u can convert it to flash swf 2)convert all slides to an image file and then add 2 buttons(Back,Next) with calling the next and previous images based on an integer variable and this buttons will show u the previous and next slides :)

sorry but u cant embed it without copying all the Powerpoint-exported HTML code in your div tag

Maybe you like this one too...it is not free but matches your needs:

You can use "CZ-ppt2htm", it can convert ppt files to html files, and this tool supports command line interface, so you can call it from your application.

you can get demo version and more information from http://www.convertzone.com/ppt2htm/help.htm
