Hi,

Is there a way to take .mht files and import them into a Powerpoint2000
slide show?

I would like a powerpoint presentation which includes several web pages
which exceed the height of the screen and would like to scroll them from
within the presentation.

Thanks in advance,
-keith

Keith,
I am not familiar with *.mht so can't help you with that one.

One technique for scrolling is to place the image off the screen at the top
of the slide and then using the crawl from bottom action setting.

Could it be that you mean .htm files?

If you want to show a Web page in your presentation with the scrolling capabilities, etc., it might
be best to add a hyperlink to the web page. In other words, if you want it to look like a web page,
it would be best to leave it on the Web and link to it. Of course, that means that you would have
to have a connection to the Internet for the presentation to work, and you could not successfully
distribute the presentation to other systems unless you knew for sure that they were connected to
the Internet.

Maybe you could clarify the question for us.

Thanks, Geetesh. I did a quick test and it seems that a link to an .mht file still requires
connectivity to the Internet. I couldn't see much difference between linking to the .mht file or
the website directly. Can you tell us more. I'm really interested, and have totally overlooked
.mht files until now. Now my interest is peaked.

mht files are self contained web pages you can save offline - so there's no
need to be online.

To try it out - go to any of these sites using Internet Explorer 5 or
higher: <g>:

http://www.soniacoleman.com
http://www.indezine.com

Choose File, Save As - select .mht under the file type and save - and lo!
all the graphics contained in your page are saved with the actual page. This
works only for single pages - not for a set of pages. Nevertheless, it's
useful - since you can save any page as .mht and save it on your hard disk
or send as an email attachment.

Once you are offline (or online, doesn't matter) - you can double-click a
.mht file to open it in Internet Explorer with all images intact.
Unfortunately .mht does not handle JavaScript rollovers - although if the
page you have saved is still in your browser cache - then even the
JavaScript rollovers will work.

It's a great way of attaching or linking a page to a PowerPoint presentation
offline.

Hope this helped you. Do get back if you have any questions.

When running the presentation, you have be sure your browser is not set to dial when no connection
is available.

I don't think so - not in normal circumstances - since .mht files are self
contained offline files, so in most cases that should not be a problem.

Sorry, you're absolutely correct. Must have been a major flaw in my previous test. Cool! Now if
Microsoft can do this with a web page, why can't they .... Oh, never mind <G>.

I want to create a slide show online, with the preferred filenames. But every attempt, causes the
original filenames to be renamed to due a file called "filelist.xml", and it asks me to download the
file instead of viewing it. What should I do?
