Any suggestions where I can find some information on this subject? I have a case study for my applications software class due on Friday, June 4th and I have searched the web but have found nothing remotely close to explaining the process to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Generally, you attach a presentation or a PowerPoint Show (ie, a presentation with a
PPS extension) to the email as you would any other file.

It's subject to the same potential problems that any other attachment would be.
More on that here:

Send a presentation that opens automatically in email
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00341.htm

There are other methods of getting the content to the user, like sending a link (in
the body of the email) to a PPT presentation or HTML version of it that you've posted
on a web site.

Is there something more specific than that you need to know?

Thanks u2, after eading the material on that site, I'd have to wonder if delivering presentations via email is such a good idea ... seems to me that the best method would be to post the presentation on my website and just email a link to the presentation. Thanks again for your responses; I truly appreciate it.

Any time!

Sending presentations by email might be exactly the right thing to do or it might
be a total disaster. Or more likely somewhere in between. How's that for
definite? <g>

It really depends on

- the size of the presentation
- whether or not it depends on linked files
- the intended audience (and whether they have PPT/Viewer)
- other stuff that doesn't occur to me right at the moment ;-)
- Oh, right: how the audience (or their bosses) respond to potentially large
attachments, whether they know/trust you or not and so on.

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

If none of the suggestions provided give you the functionality that you
were looking for or, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have
suggestions for how and why you think PowerPoint should provide this
functionality (or make it easier), don't forget to send your feedback (in
YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
