Summary

The Internet Assistant add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint 95 is now available from Microsoft.

How Does the Internet Assistant Add-in Alter PowerPoint 95?

The Internet Assistant add-in adds the Export As HTML command to the File menu in PowerPoint. You can create an HTML version of your presentation by clicking this command, typing a name for your project, and then clicking OK.

What Does Internet Assistant for PowerPoint 95 Do?

When you click the Export As HTML command, two HTML versions of each slide are created: one graphic version and one text version. The text version is useful for Web browsers that can't view graphics -- in addition, a text version of a slide is easier for a reader to "flip through" than a graphic version of a slide. The graphic version of the slide retains the color scheme and appearance of your original presentation.

Because the Internet Assistant add-in creates "client side image maps" of your original slides, both versions of the slides maintain the PowerPoint interactive settings that jump to other slides or documents. For example, if clicking an oval on slide 1 takes you directly to slide 5 in the original presentation, that functionality is retained in the HTML version of the slide.
