We are rolling out a new company website and would like to display it on a
screen in our reception area. Is there any way to use powerpoint 2007 to
scroll through an entire website without user intervention?
 
What do you mean by "scroll through an entire website without user
intervention"? Given the hypetext nature of the Web, I'm not even sure what
this would mean. You could take screen shots of your Web site and put those
in a PowerPoint slide show.

Tom,

The alternative response is an option but I think a lot of screenshots might
be time consuming depending on number of pages you want to display and if you
have resources (Manpower) to dedicate to it. The alternative is this:

PowerPoint will import HTML web pages or entire sites - my suggestion would
be to simply import the site, set a few page transitions and maybe a custom
order for the slides to display in. lastly set the slide show to loop.

As long as the monitor out front doesn't have a mouse or keyboard attached
for someone to stop the slide show with it should cycle through the slides of
your new site continously until you stop it using a attached keyboard or
mouse click.

Im not an expert here so can't promise this is the way to go, but hope it
helps

I've used it to import individual pages but not entire sites.
How do you do that? Sounds intriguing.
 
Steve,

Sorry I think I mistated myself and didn't use some forethought. I have used
powerpoint to develop several INTRANET sites and 2 INTERNET sites, I didn't
think about it till after your reply but the sites I imported were INTRANET
sites and they were built and developed from within powerpoint. In short the
reason the whole sites were imported was because the way powerpoint stores a
presentation in HTML it maintains all the coding and links as if it were a
PPT file even though its coded as HTML.

So I apologize if my reply seemed misleading it wasn't intentional.

No problem .... now it makes perfect sense. I was hoping you'd run into some
new trick. Ah well. Christmas is over and done with. Maybe next year. ;-)

Thanks for the quick comeback.
