When you save your presentation as html, one of the options you can choose from is Power Point Animation, where viewers will be prompted to download the Animation Player. Most people will choose not to do this, I think. Otherwise, you can save it as html for button advance, and then simply code in autoadvances. I don't like that, however, because the load time for the graphics may be longer than the time you allow for the new web page to begin loading. Using web authoring software is not going to do anything for you, I don't think, because you have to do something with Power Point itself. I also don't think the web is the place at the moment for a fully animated presentation. Face it, most web pages which have lots of animation have used Flash or some other form of coding, not html. gail -- Mrs. Gail Watson, Computer Tech, John F.
