==Steve Goldberg asks:====
I would like to put a MS PowerPoint Presentation on the company Web
site. Is changing the format to PDF the best way to go?
==========================
Oh, Steve: That's a question pregnant with possibile answers from this list!
Your journey first begins with asking yourself:
*Who is my "company Web" audience?
*What Web tools does this audience have handy (and use with ease)?
*How does my audience prefer to view online information?
*How quickly do I need to publish this presentation?
Once you define/analyze your audience, its needs, and yours, you'll know
whether to:
a. Publish your PPT as a PDF
b. Publish your PPT as an online slide show
c. Publish your PPT as separate images within an "HTML" slide show (I can
explain later. Contact me personally.)
d. Publish according to other options from the listserv members.
PDF delivers your PPT fairly quickly. So, if you need to upload it today, go
with PDF. If I've thoroughly confused you, contact me offlist and I'll be
happy to help.
