Powerpoint to HTML - browser windows.

I have two presentations both are saved as html and
I use an action button to open the second presentation.

However when clicking on the action button to open pres2 it opens in a NEW
browser window rather than opening the presentation in the same one.

Does anyone know how to get the second presentation to open in the same
window? Or is this just a feature of Powerpoint XP?

Cheers,

Thanks, I've found that I can take the .ppt files directly back to PP2000
and then save as html, which fixes the problem. Great to see MS have
progressed with XP (not!) :-)

I use javascript to produce a popbox with no navigational controls, but a
right click does give the 'back' option. What I find is that revisiting a
slide, the animation and audio will NOT play. Hence I needed to use a
hyperlink to an html menu, which would force the Powerpoint html pres. to
replay, hence allowing animation and audio to replay. Because the hyperlink
forces a new browser window I had to go back to pp2000 to produce the html
as this problem doesn't then occur.

Another problem I'm finding with pptXP and saving as html, is that as the
audio is playing on a slide in the browser, if you click the slide the audio
stops and will not replay, unless you can force the html presentation to
restart. Again a problem solved by doing it in the previous version.

I doubt if it's a big enough problem for MS to deal with, or even if they
did it on purpose to push some of their other products in this area !-)

That's what I had to do as well. Unfortunately, the reason
for going to XP in the first place was to get round a 2000
bug, whereby linking to a bookmark doesn't work. So it is
the lesser of 2 evils. I'm surprised that MS have not done
anything as the bugs are quite basic. IT may just eb that
there are very few people using it in this way.

Hi Glen,
Thanks. What is an MVP? Microsoft Verified Partner or some such thing??!

Hi,

An MVP stands for Most Valuable Professional. We are not associated with
Microsoft, but awarded by them for work in the online community. When you
first get notified it is quite a buzz, because no-one tells you about it
until it is decided.
