I have a client who has asked me to load a Power Point presentation - which
is on a CD - onto his website. However, I cannot find a means of doing this as the CD cannot be viewed except when in 'autorun'. I can find the file that opens it, but there are two. The first "PPTVIEW.EXE" brings up the folders as in Windows Explorer. One then needs to enter the file name "WER presentation.ppt" to start the display. I cannot see how this can be done via a hyperlink. Does anyone know of a way I can open this PP display remotely. I have copied the CD to its own folder on the server. TIA for any help. Ed |

The "PPTVIEW.EXE" is the viewer that is on the CD to make sure also a User
without PowerPoint can view the file - you will not need to have that on the web. Copy the PowerPoint Presentation itself "WER presentation.ppt" on the webserver and create a hyperlink to the PowerPoint file. -- Sylvain "Edward" wrote: I have a client who has asked me to load a Power Point presentation - which is on a CD - onto his website.

Thank you, Silvain....
I have not yet uploaded to the web server as I am waiting for an upgrade to get more space. Running the website folder on my PC, I have tried linking to the "WER presentation.ppt" directly but this did not work. It merely opened a cover picture in Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Is this because I may not have the PP viewer? Ed PS I'll be out for a few hours now. I won't be ignoring your replies. "Sylvain" wrote in message ...

Why don't you just upload your PowerPoint presentation to your clients web site and have him download it to his computer from there.

The question now is what your client wants? Should the PowerPoint file be
accesible on the website? If yes then just upload the PowerPoint file to the websever and create a link to it on any page of the website. (- as you do not have PowerPoint installed on your computer you wil not able to test if the PowerPoint can be viewed on the website). If you want to test it... go and download the PowerPoint viewer and install it on your client: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en -- Sylvain "Edward" wrote: No. I have Office, but it does not include Powerpoint.
