I've been asked to convert a Powerpoint 4 (Win 3.1 version) presentation,
with
lots of graphics, to web pages.<<<<

This probably won't help much since I don't know how it was done, but the
last place I worked at had an internal web site where what was obviously
once a PowerPoint presentation was incorporated into a set of web pages.
It was pretty nice. They used frames to present each PPT slide as a
separate page. Another frame had controls that allowed you to go back and
forward and also move to the beginning of other sections.

It was almost like you were viewing the slide show in the browser. I'm
pretty sure each slide was converted into a graphic image and the page for
each contained only that graphic.

The only strong objection I had to it was that it was not indexed in any
way (but this is a common complaint I have about most web sites). That is,
the slide show consisted in total of several hundred slides. Bur there was
no way to jump to a specific slide. You had to start at the beginning of a
section and page through it.

Good luck,
Bill Konrad

I converted the text fairly easily (saved it in PPT as an RTF, opened it in
Word
6, then saved it in HTML format). The graphics are gone, however.

I've been poking around the Web, but haven't found a good solution, at
least for
PPT 4 running under Win 3.1. I don't know much about PPT 4 either, which
I'm
sure is adding to my problem.

Can anyone help?
