Hi -

I'm trying to put a slide show out on the web. I want the slides to
automatically change one after the other. When I view my slide show in
PowerPoint, it works fine, but when I upload it as a web page, the slides
don't move automatically from one to the other.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks!
Patti
 
Can you provide us with a link to have a look?

In the yellow area on the above page, you will see the link to the
powerpoint presentation.

When I uploaded the files, I assumed that it would work just as it does in
Powerpoint when I choose to look at the Slide Show. I have it set up to
advance off slide 1 either by a mouse click or automatically after 5 seconds.
The second slide was supposed to advance with a mouse click and the
following slides were supposed to advance without any input from the user.
Like I said, this all works fine when I'm viewing the slide show on my
computer, but once it gets uploaded to the web, user input is required to
advance the slides (and one of the most recent changes I made was to get rid
of the slide info on the left side of the screen and the arrows at the
bottom, so now we can't even advance past the second slide.)

I could fix it to go back to the arrows at the bottom of the page to require
users to forward themselves through the slides, but if I can get the slides
to advance automatically, then it looks more like a movie of the cupola being
raised into position.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

When you publish your presentation, under Web Options checkmark "Add slide
navigation controls" and see if that makes a difference

At the link you provided, were all the slides present? Your presentation
automatically went to slide 2 as you indicated, but I got no indication of more
slides.

When you create the show in Powerpoint you have to save
it as a .pps file. When you look at the filename it will
have an extension of .pps
