PowerPoint Viewer?

All they'll need to view it is a browser; MSIE is the preferred browser, since that's
what PowerPoint's HTML is targeted at. Other browsers may not as completely render
all the effects MSIE is capable of. It's worth testing with other browsers if that's
important.

As to downloading, you can't see much of anything on the web w/o downloading. That's
just how it works. The browser downloads stuff to your temporary internet files
folder and plays them back from there, not directly from the server.

What exactly is the concern about downloading?

Is it a question of security, or just not wanting the users to have to choose to
download something or not?

Depends on what you mean by "from the website". If you post a link to the PPS,
they'll be able to download the file, save it locally and view it or if they
click on the link they can view it in the browser, kindasorta, as long as they
have PPT or the viewer installed already. What happens depends on their browser
settings.

I see I can save the Presentation as a
Web Page in Office 2003.
If I save as a Webpage and post it to the website, can thePowerpoint Viewer
along with Auto run execute from the Host server and not require visitors
have to download anything?

If you save as a webpage, they don't need the Viewer, just a comptible browser.

What Auto run are we talking about here?
