PowerPoint slide show - website

[Coldicote]

Is it possible to upload a Microsoft PowerPoint slide show to a website? I have one that is 5.11MB and a bit 'heavy' to send to people by email and have saved it on a CD. Advice appreciated.

Sure you can just uplaod it like you would any other file.

Do you have any webspace to upload it to?
If not, you could try http://www.yousendit.com You upload your file to them then email people the link it goves you.

Try zipping and see if it is reduced to a size that can be emailed.

Thanks for these answers. Squarebear, I had thought that a pps file would probably need to be converted to an HTML file for uploading and haven't found a way to do this. Its icon is rather like a Word file (a page with a turned down corner). I have just about enough webspace but didn't want to mess thing up. I'll also try a zip file for emailing thank you TTG.

No, any file can be uploaded to the web.

You would link it like this: www.yourwebspace.co.uk/presentation.pps

I think this is the sort of thing you want: http://www.scribd.com/upload?group_id=8

Squarebear is talking about uploading your PP file to your own domain and giving it other a link to the file name, I have assumed you want to present the PP file in the browser?

All the best

Thank you Spare Ed. Yes, I was hoping to present the PP file in a browser. I'll take a longer look at the link you suggest, but am a bit pressed for time at the moment.

I've looked at the link Spare Ed suggested and it's certainly interesting. I'm holding back though as I don't know who created the PowerPoint file I received, with a lot of lovely scenery possibly from Norway, and it may or may not be copyright. Thanks anyway.
