I have built an intranet for the school i work at.  some of the
teachers have made power point presentations that they would like to
be put on to the intranet, so the best way in my mind is to make the
presentation into a powerpoint show so that  the slide show runs in
internet explorer with out loading powerpoint.  unfortunatly when i
click on a link to a powerpoint show a load of meaningless text
appears on the screen instead ofthe show.  when i used dreamweaver to
preview the page with the link to the show on it it works fine and the
show runs well.  the file helper in the IE properties looks to be set
right as well.

The only way to do that is by saving the PowerPoint file as a web page (File
-> Save as Web Page, or Save as HTML).  You will in that case lose some
features, like transitions.  There is no way to open PowerPoint files
natively in the browser with a plugin, as Harri said.
