Embedding a PowerPoint Presentation in a LiveOffice Web Site

The family chiropractor wanted to have a PPT embedded in her web site that’s running on LiveOffice. LiveOffice is a “sandbox” hosting services that denies code level access so it’s small business user friendly. While I could upload the PPT and link to it, I could not cause it to be embedded in a web page through the ordinary means.

 

The solution was to export it as image slides and then create a basic slide show.  No major rocket science, but beyond the typical business user comfort level.

 

You may see the result at:  Pro Health Chiropractic. Microsoft code has a minor defect with the slide show, if you have a slow connection then the first image may not be found on the first load of the page.

 

Sorry for not doing posts lately, but I’ve been working in an IP area and thus very restricted on what I may post about

 

How to do it in detail

a. Open it in power point
