Hi all,

is it possible to send a presentation to somebody that
does not have Powerpoint and he can actually see it? Or is
the Viewer always necessary?

Thanks
Peter
 
You have the option to publish your presentation to html, and then all that is
needed is a web browser.

Herein lies the problem. I would like to send the
presentation as an attachment via email to multiple
recipients. When I save the Presentation as a web page
Powerpoint saves it by creating a htm-file and a folder
with all the other necessary files. Unfortunately I cannot
send the folder via email because OE does not allow that.
So if you have another suggestion on how to distribute I
would very much appreciate it.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer
Peter
 
Two possibilities:

(1) Load it on the Web and email the URL.
(2) Zip it (Windows XP comes with Zipping and unZipping built in).

[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 you are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003 an alternative to multiple-file
HTML output is to distribute your presentations as single file web pages
(MHTML:). Now you have a single file that can be sent which, when the
recipient opens from e-mail or Windows, will display an HTML version of the
PowerPoint slide show in the default browser for that system. Of course
there are limitations and differences between PowerPoint HTML presentation
slide shows and native *.ppt/*.pps presentation slide shows viewed using
PowerPoint. If, however, the recipient opens the MHTML file using
PowerPoint (2002 or 2003), the show will display in full native fidelity.
So, with this workaround you get the benefits of single-file distribution,
but you don't get the "automatically start in slide show mode" experience
and there is loss of fidelity if viewed in a web browser (only you can
decide, for your presentations, whether the benefits offset the
disadvantages).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide a way of distributing a presentation (with all it's supporting
content) as a single file which, can be viewed in it's full fidelity, with
an option to start as slide show, and without permanently
installing/copying any software on the destination computer (whew!!!),
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).

How about convert your PowerPoint presentations into DVD format?
Hmm, then you just need to send the discs even though the person who
can not get online. If any interests, you can
visit this http://www.powerpoint-to-dvd.com for more help.
Good luck !
