How do I put a PowerPoint presentation WITHOUT Animations into a content module?

How to convert PowerPoint to html

1. Open the PowerPoint file.  
2. Click on File, and drag down to Save as Web page
3. Click on Publish
4. Under Browser support, select Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, Netscape Navigator 3.0, or later
5. Click on Publish.
6. When prompted to save changes, click Yes.

Note:  You should notice than when the file is saved as html, an html file (for example, chapter1.html) is created, and, also a folder (for example, chapter1_files) is created.  You will need both!

How to upload the folder and file to WebCT 

1. Use WinZip to zip up the html file AND the related folder.  (See p. 41 in the “Adding Content in WebCT” section of the training manual).
2. Upload the zip file to WebCT.  (See p. 47 in the “Adding Content in WebCT” section of the training manual).
3. Unzip the zip file in WebCT. (See p. 50 in the “Adding Content in WebCT” section of the training manual).
