Powerpoint on the web

I just purchased Office 2007 and am dismayed to find that PowerPoint still
behaves in such an unbelievably primitive, clunky way on a web site.

Why isn't it there a built-in function which converts PowerPoint to
streaming media?

I really resent having to purchase yet more software to make up for a
function which should have been added 2 years ago, but if anyone has
suggestions for converting PowerPoint to streaming media, preserving
transitions, audios and other features, I'd really appreciate hearing them.

So far all I've seen is either hideously expensive, or hideously
low-quality, or hideously non-user-friendly.

Best wishes

Hi Christine,

I agree. The html output is poor and results are just as poor.

IIRC, there was an ASF conversion add-in thing around about PPT 97. It was
pretty buggy, though, which is why it's no longer included.

There are some good Flash conversion and capture-as-video tools out there,
but none, as you've found, is perfect. And yes, the good ones are more
expensive. I'm not sure Microsoft would do any better at this point, so I'm
actually glad the feature isn't included. I mean, look at the "save as
Quicktime" on the Mac PowerPoint -- it's certainly not great.
