Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / August 2006Word file attachment in Powerpoint
Hi, I am working on a project where I convert PowerPoint presentation to html pages. There html pages are loaded on a web server for sharing. The PowerPoint presentation has multiple links to various bookmarks to a word file. Using Macintosh Power Point (X for Mac Service Release 1), when this file is converted to HTML, the bookmarks are lost. For example, if the link is to /SystemPractices.doc#ACT1, after the conversion, the "#ACT1" part is lost, so the word file opens at the beginning. This doesn't happen if the conversion is done using a PC (Power Point 2003). But to keep the HTML files compatible with non-IE browsers, I have to use a Mac for conversion. Any suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated. Raka > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Any suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated. If compatibility is important and animation isn't a factor, have a look at our PPT2HTML addin (http://ppt2html.pptools.com). It's a Windows-only affair, I'm afraid, but will let you create HTML that meets whatever standards you like. ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hi Steve, Thank you for the response. I tried ppt2html and had 2 issues with it. 1. At the initial look it seems like that the bookmarks are maintained by they don't work. 2. All JavaScript code is part of the html files. For my project, I need a separate .js file to modify the code Raka > > Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > Hi Steve, > > Thank you for the response.

PPT2HTML doesn't include any javascript except under very specific conditions. If you want to include javascript in your template, you certainly can do that, and if it calls external .js files there should be no problem with that either, but it'd depend on specifics. I could give you a better idea if I had a link to a sample page that demonstrates what you're after. I'd be happy to have a look. > Raka > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ My project is a big flowcharting tool where all the slides are interlinked many different ways. One of the features of my project is that it keeps track of the visited slides and "Go Back" will take you back through the path you came from. The "Go Back" in PPT2HTML is hard coded with the slide numbers. In PowerPoint conversion, it is done with JS code, which only keeps LAST slide number. So, if your path is slide# 4, 15, 25, from 25 "Go back" will take you to 15 and then back to 25. As all the JS code is in .js file, I change the code by adding an array and pushing slide numbers into it every time user goes to the next slide. Original 'goback' function is also modified by adding an array pop to get the last slide number. I will send you the link as soon as the project is accessible from outside. We decide to use PowerPoint to create flowcharts instead of more appropriate flowcharting tools because of its accessibility and usage knowledge.

If you're looking at the html produced by Previous Slide links, yes, because in PPT that's always a link to the slide just before the one you're currently viewing. The point is to make the HTML and the PPT behave the same by and large. If you use PowerPoint's Previously Viewed Slide action setting, then you get a "javascript:history.back()" link, which should function the same as the browser's Back button -- which is what you're after, no? It then doesn't act like PPT's Previously Viewed Slide link, but since PPT's behavior in this case is all but useless, nobody seems to miss it. > PowerPoint conversion, it is done with JS code, which only keeps LAST > slide number.

I'd call this a bug. The next version of PowerPoint is being written now. I hope they fix this one along the way. If you haven't already done so, consider using the Send Feedback feature on the Help menu to alert Microsoft. However, I've noticed some Microsoft folks responding to postings here lately so they may have already seen your comments. -Jim Gordon Mac MVP > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Raka Thanks Jim.
