What forum should this inquiry be in?

[Trudye]

I have placed this inquiry in this forum twice and have not received a response. Is it possible I am not placing it in the correct forum? Can anyone please tell me what forum I should place it in?

I created a PP presentation and saved it as a HTML file. I uploaded it and it displays fine. And here comes the BUT..

I added some Custom Animations (i.e. arrows whose display I setup to be timed) but they are not working. They are already on display when the slide appears(i.e. they just lay there). Since I am using FrontPage is it possible to add VBScript code to correct the problem.

Is there something I can do in the code to get the timed displaying of the animation items to work?

I have seen PP slide shows with timed animations but I don't know how they got it to work.

Here is the URL if you would like to see my dilemma:

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I would suggest posting in web site designers, javascript.
Vbscript might not be the best seeing as you are already using javascript in the site as I see from your src to the .js file
I would also post your code, there might be a problem there and it may be easy to fix. I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

Thanks much Onpnt, as soon as I get it resolved I will publish it so everyone will know.

Thanks again for your quick response

First, this post is probably more appropriate in an Office/Powerpoint forum. Try to establish why the problem is apparent in the first place, before searching for an alternative scripting solution.

What version of Powerpoint are you using?

You may want to post the Powerpoint presentation file on your webserver, so that we may download it and see if we can duplicate what you describe. Jon Hawkins

Hi Everyone

I promised I would publish the answer when I got it. It's funny how the answer is right in front of your face sometimes.

The animations were already working I just needed to: Push the PowerPoint slide show button in the bottom (it looks like a little TV)right corner. The app goes full screen and all animations worked.

To get the PP animations to work automatically: In PowerPoint go to Tools > Options. On the dialog shown in the 'General' tab there is a button 'Web Options'. Press this and you get another dialog. In the first tab 'General' there is a checkbox for 'Show slide animation while browsing'. Check this and then resave you presentation.

Thanks everyone I love the way everyone rises to the occasion when you present a problem.

All my Respect
