I did a search and haven't found much in the way of solutions so I apologize
if this has been discussed. Here's my issue:
We have locations all across the country, and all of our VP's, etc, are all
off-site (not necessarily a bad thing!) but we do a weekly conference call to
discuss status of various projects. We've created a template file that
project managers can use to create a ppt presentation that standardizes the
presentations. The PM's then create the presentation every week with the
latest and greatest data, and the files are saved in a shared folder, zipped,
and emailed to 20-30 recipients. Obviously it's a huge file for the network
to carry, and it means each recipient has to download it into their inbox,
etc. To correct this, I built a web style presentation, with pages for all of
the projects, and rather than have the PM's saving files in the presentation,
I'd like to keep it simple for them and let them keep saving it as is and
I'll just link to their files - not a big deal. The problem is if I package
it as a CD and select to use a folder instead of a CD, it won't save it is
html, it switches to a ppt file. When remote users open the folder (it will
be on our shared server so they can remote access it and no longer a need to
email it), they'll see all of the presentations. The advantage of the web
presentation is it hides the framework from them so they only see slides I
have linked, not any inactive slides, etc. Is there a way to package as a CD
so it pulls all the required documents and other presentations, yet still
have the presentation either auto-start, or still work as an html? The folder
will have a large amount of files (word document contract files, MSProject
Gannt charts, other powerpoint presentations for each project, etc) and I'd
like to make this as user friendly as possible. Now that I'm looking for a
publisher for my novel I just wrote...any suggestions?
