Hi i need to embed powerpoint in MFC application or in a .NET form. My
question is can i embed it in the form without installing MS-Office. If yes

No. You can't automate Powerpoint w/o having Powerpoint there to be automated.

Thank you. I just wanted to know whether there is an active x or any other
control that can allow me to use powerpoint features without installing
office....

Hi Steve,
Thank you for replying. I have one more question. Is there any control
like PowerPoint viewer which is freely available that allows to view
powerpoint slides. I need to embed a control which allows to view Power Point
Slides on web form(.net). Is there any free control available which permits
me to do this.

Thanks a lot for the reply....

No, just the free viewer, which doesn't expose any methods/properties to automation.

Consider converting the presentations to HTML, though.
