From: Susienak on 13 May 2008 00:13 I saved a ppt as a pps and uploaded it on my website so that I can send a web link to clients in an email and not have it take up space as an email attachment (if I send as an email attachment its almost 10mb which is too large to be opened). Every time I put it on my website as a pps though it continues to open as a ppt which defeats the purpose of a client just opening the link and seeing the show. I saved it as 97=03 PPS thinking most people would have this as opposed to my 07 version. Not sure what Im supposed to do at this point to get the link on my site to open it as a pps. I have tried saving ppt file as a pps and the newer ppsx formats. when clicking on file in docs IE says file cannot be found. I have no idea why this is happening. If i save as a pps, then IE opens it in edit mode....more like a ppt file. and even though it says its read only, I can make changes and save to my computer. When opening the file from my computer, after changes, it opens as a slideshow, with the changes I made. The pps files opens correctly in firefox..... but gives same error with the ppsx file..... ugh!!!! I read on other discussions about converting the pps to a wmv... do I have to resort to this and if so what program does it (this is the only file i will EVER need to convert so I dont want to spend big bucks on it)? Thanks anyone/everyone in advance... Susan

Another option to add to what Lucy recommended is to convert your presentation to html and post that on your site You might want to start here Put your PowerPoint-generated HTML on the web http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00241.htm -- Michael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint "Susienak" <Susienak(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:69E5E6EF-1BAE-4C14-AC15-04622413839E(a)microsoft.com...
