"playing .pps files on my website"

Hi,

I am uplopading a .pps (power point presentation) file to my website but can't get it to play. Do I end the filepath name with .pps ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

thanks for your assistance, I will check out the options and post my findings for others if it is successful.

Cheers!

Hi simon123,

I've never tried this myself but you do seem to have a few options, the success of which depends on how much animation you have in your presentation.

You should be able to save/convert your PPT as HTML and then put the files on your web site.

Another option is to use a "Powerpoint to FLASH" converter. Google shows quite a few - mostly paid for but there are trial versions.

Or - try OpenOffice. This allows you to convert to HTML which may be more successful than PowerPoint's efforts - and you can also create a FLASH version. But I've read any transitions etc. you use get dropped during the conversion - but might be worth a look.

To play or view a Powerpoint Presentation file from the web you either need Powerpoint installed or have the free Powerpoint viewer installed.
As far as I'm aware you can't get a Powerpoint Show (PPS) file to play 'in a web page' as such, like flash files. It's downloaded as a temp file and then played locally.
See here for more information.
