I was searchin previous months and came across a problem relating to PowerPoint - I am putting it here if anyone is interested By default PowerPoint organises the supporting files into an extra folder which means they do not work when zipped and sent to bb, this is easy to get around - this is what we do create powepoint file go "file/save as web page" (careful you cannot just save as HTML from normal save box this does not work!) Then in the dialogue box click "publish" button and I think then "web options" which opens a multi page dialogue box click on the "files" tab and uncheck the first item "organise the supporting files in a folder" then OK your way back to the original save as web page dialogue - select an empty folder to save it in and click "save" Hey presto all your html files are organised in one folder - in that folder simply go "edit/select all" right click on any filename and "send to zip file/folder" and your zip file is created in the format you need for BB There is no space saving here as the zipped up files are sometimes bigger than the original presentation - but the way that IE handles powerpoint in this format means that the user does not have to wait for the whole file to download before they see the slideshow - so even those on 56k modems will be able to see them even if they dont have powerpoint on their machine Whilst powerpoint remembers this setting the next time you open this file it goes back to the default each time you open a new one! I havent yet found anyway in settings to change the default - well done microsoft!
