I want to offer to visitors to our Publisher 2000 website a way to run a pps
file.  Can it be done?

Presently, the file Venezia.pps is Hyperlinked on the site www.vanusa.org,
History page.  As it is now, it offers visitors to download it; I'd like it
to play.  Can do?

Hi Don,

It is my understanding that you can convert a pps to html, in which case you
could upload that html to a folder on your site, and link to it. Here is one
tutorial I found:

David,

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't have PowerPoint, just the Viewer.

Update:

Just to see what if, I changed the file name from Venezia.pps to
Venezia.ppt.  Not in any program, just in Windows Explorer.

Now when clicking on the link it asks if you want to open it or save it.
Open it does the trick.  When it was a pps file the only option was to save
the file.

Thanks again for you help David.  You've done so several times.  This ol
soul envies youth and skill.

ciao,

Don,

That's good info to know. Thanks.

You are welcome. I am sure others appreciate your help here. But I don't
know about youth or skill ;-)
