Embed a PowerPoint presentation into HTML

I don't know of a way to embed PowerPoint slides directly into HTML. However, there are a number of solutions online for converting a PPT file into a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF, which can be embedded into HTML just like any other Flash movie. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=ppt+to+swf&btnG=Google+Search seems to give a lot of hits. Some are free, others aren't. Some handle things like animations, others just do still images. There's got to be one out there that does what you need. :)

You can use Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Web_Apps to embed PowerPoint and Excel Files. See http://blogs.office.com/b/office_blog/archive/2010/09/24/say-more-in-your-blog-with-embedded-powerpoint-and-excel-files.aspx.

The 'actual answer' is that you cannot do it directly. You have to convert your PowerPoint presentation to something that the browser can process. You can save each page of the PowerPoint presentation as a JPEG image and then display as a series of images. You can save the PowerPoint presentation as HTML. Both of these solutions will render only static pages, without any of the animations of PowerPoint. You can use a tool to convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash (.swf) and embed it that way. This will preserve any animations and presumably allow you to do an automatic slideshow without the need for writing special code to change the images.

The first few results on Google all sound like good options: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00708.htm http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86212

Try http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Programming/Delphi_Tools_and_Components/PowerPoint_ActiveX.html. This is an ActiveX component that embeds PowerPoint into an OCX. Since you are using just Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 you can embed this component into the HTML.

I've given up... I guess Flash is the way forward.

As a side note: If your intranet users also have access to the Internet, you can use the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SlideShare widget to embed your PowerPoint presentations in your website. (Remember to mark your presentation as private!)

Some Flash tool that can convert the PowerPoint file to Flash could be helpful. Slide share is also helpful. For me, I will take something like PPT2Flash Pro or things like that.

Well, I think you get to convert the powerpoint to flash first. PowerPoint is not a sharable format on Internet. Some tool like http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash.html#107 could be helpful for you.
