That sorted it. Yes, I was using Firefox. Worked fine in IE. I have a feeling that Chrome does not announce itself sufficiently well. In a hosting site I use, it says that Chrome is an old version and I must update to a newer version of Firefox. I like Chrome in parts, but not in entirety, so I stick with Firefox. For me, IE is so frustrating with the pop up bar blocking everything and never remembering that I told it ten million times to accept stuff! Thanks Gustav. Good man!

Hvis du vil fortsætte alligevel, skal du klikke _her_. ".. klikke her" means (surprise) ".. click here". This message I get with Google Chrome. Which browser are you using? It may only work with IE. /gustav >>> max.wanadoo at gmail.com 17-10-2008 21:19 >>> Hi Gustav, I tried this link shown but all I got was a few lines in a foreign language (grin) and when I clicked on a link called HER, I got a blank page.

I'm new to PowerPoint (I hate to admit it, but for PP rookies like me the 2007 ribbon-band with all its style presets works very well) so I became only by accident aware of the nice save-as-html feature, but it works. Example is here: http://www.timbactus.dk/karnelia/help/karneliaschema.htm You'll see the slide scale with the size of the browser window - at least with IE which is what the client in question uses, but it does not work at all with Google Chrome - anybody knowing why? I haven't tried with other browsers like FireFox or Opera. What's more, as I use the ClickOnce publisher, I already have web space for publishing the application and can just add a folder to hold the files with the help slides. /gustav >>> gustav at cactus.dk 14-10-2008 23:55 >>> Hi all I have designed some drawings in PowerPoint as a kind of high level "help pages" for a WinApp. The idea is that the user by pressing help or a button can call up these slides. Just one by one, it is not a slide-show. But how to do that? It is not an automation job to control PowerPoint which the user may not have installed. Would there be any other way than to export the slides to, say, png files and then open a PictureBox with the png file? It would be better to use a vector format as it is possible to resize without quality loss but which format? And then another display control should be used as the PictureBox can't show vector graphics as far as I know. /gustav _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
