Thanks!

A download link is possible. Simply assign the link as if you were linking to another web page.

I'm not aware of a powerpoint browser plugin to display a presentation as a ppt or pptx file.

You can Save As html from Powerpoint. Then it is simple to upload the presentation html file or files to your web host and place a link in your Web Designer page.

Next to the download option, you could export your .ppt file as an .htm file in MS PowerPoint (File/Save as Web Page). You, then, can incorporate this .htm file in your website by using an iframe in XWD (use Utilities/Web Properties/Placeholder/Replace with HTML code).

Use this code, making sure that you replace the PATH_TO_THE_.HTM_FILE with the correct path:

Code:

<iframe name="mainframe" id="mainframe"
 style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:20px;width:100%;height:100%;
z-index:1;" src="PATH_TO_THE_.HTM_FILE" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0"
 allowtransparency="true">Your browser does not support inline frames
 or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe>

Hi Boy,
I like your code and I thought that it would solve my problem BUT, how do you save a PP show .ppsx as an .htm file? If you save the PP file as .htm then it loads looking like a PP presentation file which doesn't look good when opened in the browser.
What I really want to do is to capture the PP show file and stick it in a placeholder on a web page and have it show like a show file not a presentation file. Any ideas??
