Using a Powerpoint slide show with FrontPage website

Recommended Posts

I use FrontPage 2003 to build a website. It allows me to "import" a PowerPoint show (.pps file) and upload it to the server with the rest of the site. Trouble is, when I click on the site's link to the show, it offers to open or save the .ppt file! That means that when it is downloaded, it opens the Powerpoint app instead of just playing the show. Of course, people who don't have PowerPoint can't view the show.

I've checked, and there is no .ppt file on the site. It somehow changes the .pps file extension to .ppt when downloading.

And yes, the .pps file plays just fine before it is uploaded.

I really am flat out of ideas here, and sure could use some help.

OK, another clue: A music file that was working just fine no longer plays. When you click on the music link, it doesn't play the music, it opens a new browser page, like http://whatever.mp3

Something is really screwed up on this site. Do I need to upload with an ftp program instead of FrontPage? Are the latest FrontPage extensions different now that "Frontpage Expressions" is out there?
