MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2005How do I link 2 presentations for the web.
I have a presentation that links to another presentation. The link works fine in "regular" PC mode. Now, I'm ready to port both presentations to the web. I've already tried saving both presentations as single web pages, but obviously that doesn't give me a working link -- there's nothing in either htm file that knows where each other resides. How do I link 2 presentations for the web? P.S. I'm using PP2003. Thanks in advance for all repies. > I have a presentation that links to another presentation.

If the presentations are linked, it sounds like the links would be to other PPT files, not to the HTML versions of the same files. One bizarre sounding idea: Convert both presentations to HTML. Go back into the links and change them so they point to the HTML version of the PPTs. Reconvert to HTML, letting the new HTML overwrite the old. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Good morning Steve, Your "bizarre sounding idea" seems promising -- I'll give it a try. However, since the "calling" presentation links to multiple slides in the linked presentation -- I'm linking from thumbnail pictures to enlarged pictures in the linked presentation -- I'll have to link to the specific .htm slide file for each thumbnail. That will be an interesting challenge. Anyway, I'll give it a shot. This is the same presentation that I originally had the question about how to replay a slide on the CD version. I'm still working on that. With the HTML version, there's an obvious -- to me -- workaround, but I'm a stubborn cuss, so I'll exhaust all efforts trying to solve it first. Thanks again for the help. > > I have a presentation that links to another presentation. The link works fine > > in "regular" PC mode. Now, I'm ready to port both presentations to the web.

Have a look at our PPT2HTML addin, though - it's a commercial product but has a free fully functional demo. http://ppt2html.pptools.com PPT2HTML can't preserve all the effects PPT can translate when it makes its own html but it creates individual one-per-slide HTML files that you'd easily be able to link to. > This is the same presentation that I originally had the question about how > to replay a slide on the CD version. Y'know, I had a hunch ... ;-) You posted your caveat at the identical time that I posted success using your suggestion (12:16 PST). Anyway, it works great and thanks again. I had previously downloaded the demo of ppt2html and took a look. Since my presentation includes animation and sound, it doesn't seem like it would work in this case. > > Good morning Steve, > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Y'know, I had a hunch ... ;-) Your "bizarre sounding idea" WORKS! I'm able to link right down to the specific slides that contain the enlarged pictures related to the thumbnails. Great idea!

I simply viewed it in Explorer in thumbnail mode, identified the slide numbers corresponding to the htm's I was looking for and referenced those slide numbers in "Action Settings" for the various thumbnails. The linking works perfectly. > Dang, let's hear it for bizarre. <g> > [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > As you know, saving as a Single File Web Page creates a smal "master" htm > file (about 3K in my case), and also a sub-folder with the various htm's, Other way 'round, actually. Saving as normal HTML creates the little fella plus the support folder full of goodies. Single file creates ... drumroll please, maestro ... a single file.

In my multitasking mode, while selecting "Save As Web Page," and seeing the file type at the bottom of the ensuing dialogue box, I forgot that I chose to "Save A Copy and Customize Its Contents." Anyway, it works. Thanks again. Now, back to the issue of replaying a slide with animation when executing the presentation from pptviewer.exe. I've got a "solution," but it's UGLY! I'll let you know if I can refine it.
