Embed a PowerPoint presentation into HTML

Question

Is it possible to embed a PowerPoint presentation   ppt  into a webpage   xhtml    This will be used on a local intranet where there is a mix of Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 6 and Internet nbsp Explorer nbsp 7 only  so no need to consider other browsers     I ve given up    I guess Flash is the way forward

Google Docs allows you to upload a PowerPoint document  you can then  Share  it with everyone then you can  Publish  it and this will provide code to embed it in your site or you can use a direct link which runs at the full size of the browser window  The conversion is pretty good and scales well because the text is retained rather than converted to an image  The conversion is pretty good and the whole thing is free  Definitely worth a go

I ended up going for screenshooting each slide  and using two different tabs to navigate  this was put into an   this gives high-res  but you sacrifice animations and interactivity  the only thing the user can do is read and change slide  heres an example off my website  http   deepschool jaberwokkee kodingen com   Miss 20Necchi 27s 20powerpoints Volume 20of 20prisms 20powerpoint slide1 htm

Another option is to use Apple Keynote on a Mac  Libre Office couldn t event open a pptx I had  to save the presentation to HTML5  It does a pretty good job to produce exactly what it displays in keynote  e g  it includes animations and video  Compatibility of keynote to powerpoint has it s limits though  independent of the export

The  actual answer  is that you cannot do it directly  You have to convert your PowerPoint presentation to something that the browser can process  You can save each page of the PowerPoint presentation as a JPEG image and then display as a series of images  You can save the PowerPoint presentation as HTML  Both of these solutions will render only static pages  without any of the animations of PowerPoint  You can use a tool to convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash   swf  and embed it that way  This will preserve any animations and presumably allow you to do an automatic slideshow without the need for writing special code to change the images

Well  I think you get to convert the powerpoint to flash first  PowerPoint is not a sharable format on Internet  Some tool like PowerPoint to Flash could be helpful for you

I got so sick of trying all of the different options to web host a power point that were flaky or required flash so I rolled my own   My solution uses a very simple javascript function to simply scroll   replace a image tag with GIFs that I saved from the Power Point presentation itself     In the power point presentation click Save As and select GIF  Pick the quality you want to display the presentation at  Power Point will save one GIF image for each slide and name them Slide1 GIF  Slide2 GIF  etc      Create a HTML page and add a image tag to display the Power point GIF images    lt img src  Slide1 GIF  id  mainImage  name  mainImage  width  100   height  100   alt    gt   Add some first  previous  next and last clickable objects with the onClick action as below    lt a href     onclick  swapImage 0    gt  lt img src   images first png  border 0 alt  First  gt  lt  a gt   lt a href     onclick  swapImage currentIndex-1    gt  lt img src   images left png  border 0 alt  Back  gt  lt  a gt   lt a href     onclick  swapImage currentIndex 1    gt  lt img src   images right png  border 0 alt  Next  gt  lt  a gt   lt a href     onclick  swapImage maxIndex    gt  lt img src   images last png  border 0 alt  Last  gt  lt  a gt   Finally  add the below javascript function that when called grabs the next Slide GIF image and displays it to the img tag    lt script type  text javascript  gt        Initilize start value to 1  For Slide1 GIF      var currentIndex   1         NOTE  Set this value to the number of slides you have in the presentation      var maxIndex 12       function swapImage imageIndex             Check if we are at the last image already  return if we are          if imageIndex gt maxIndex               currentIndex maxIndex              return                       Check if we are at the first image already  return if we are          if imageIndex lt 1               currentIndex 1              return                     currentIndex imageIndex            Otherwise update mainImage         document getElementById  mainImage   src  Slide     currentIndex      GIF           return         lt  script gt     Make sure the GIFs are reachable from the HTMl page  They are by default expected to be in the same directory but you should be able to see the logic and how to set to a image directory if required  I have training material up for my company that uses this technique at http   www vanguarddata com au so before you spend any time trying it out you are welcome to look at in action    I hope this helps someone else out there who is having as much headaches with this as I did

I spent a while looking into this and pretty much all of the freeware and shareware on the web sucked  This included software to directly convert the  ppt file to Flash or some sort of video format and also software to record your desktop screen  Software was clunky  and the quality was poor   The solution we eventually came up with is a little bit manual  but it gave by far the best quality results    Export the  ppt file into some sort of image format   bmp   jpeg   png   tif  - it writes out one file per slide Import all the slide image files into Google Picasa and use them to create a video  You can add in some nice simple transitions  it hasn t got some of the horrific  ppt one s  but who cares  and it dumps out a WMV file of your specified resolution    Saving out as  wmv isn t perfect  but I m sure it s probably quite straightforward to convert that to some other format or Flash  We were looking to get them up on YouTube and this did the trick

I was looking for a solution for similar problem    I looked into http   phppowerpoint codeplex com   But they have no better documentation  and even no demo page I could see over there and it was seemingly difficult    What I came up with is  SkyDrive by Microsoft  https   skydrive live com  All you need is an account with them and upload your PPT and embed them straightaway  PPT player is quite clean to use and I like it
