Using Powerpoint as Helpfile

Hi,

We have a Powerpoint presentation that will serve as the helpfile for our
bespoke LOB software. Basically, we have one 5Mb file PPT that encompasses
the whole program's functionality. What I would like to do is create context
sensitive links within our program that will take us directly to a
particular slide in the PPT. I figured a good place to start would be by
saving the PPT as a HTML page, which is obviously easy enough. Now what I
need to be able to do, is to somehow make it context sensitive from within
our program. That is to say, if we are at a particular point within our
program, when we click on Help it will take us to say Slide 50 on the web
page. It's important that we retain the TOC down the left hand side also.

Has anyone any tips for doing this?

Many Thanks,
Matt

Forget it! It's easy enough and I've worked it out for myself! :)

There's something magical about that Send button, isn't there?  

But now that you've worked it out, fill us in.  Sharing's what makes this place
work.
