Hi
I would convert ,y ppt in a6p or something similar (i.e. transforming in
flash and then importing in aware)
Do you have any suggestion in order to take advantages of both programs
(animation, transition effects, voice syncronization and so on) ?
Thank you for help

Ways to use Powerpoint presentations with Authorware:
1. Somehow, IE apparently can show PPT files. So you can embed the Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX control into your piece, then use CallSprite to have IE navigate to and load the PPT presentation.
2. Use OLE (open display icon, Insert > OLE Object). This requires the users to have PPT installed on their system.
3. Package the PPT as it's own .exe using 'Pack and Go' under PPT's File menu, then use JumpOutReturn to launch that .exe file.
4. Simply use JumpOutReturn to launch the .ppt file itself, which again requires the users to have PPT installed on their machine.
There may be other ways I'm forgetting, but there is no simple way to just import a Powerpoint file into Authorware.
Freely do a search of the archives for this group at google (link at the bottom of my sig) as this question has come up fairly often in the past.
Final note, I've never actually done any of these procedures, so the concepts are all I can provide.
