SYNOPSISppthtml Filename
DESCRIPTION
This manual page explains the ppthtml program. The program ppthtml is
used to convert Microsoft Power Point files into either html or tab
delimitted ASCII. The program can be interfaced with helper scripts for
viewing email attachments. Most use of this program is through the
helper scripts and one would probably rarely resort to using the com‐
mandline interface.
NOTES
To interface to Netscape Navigator: first locate the help scripts
nspptview & nsopen. Go into the Edit Preferences dialog box. Click on
the Navigator Category and hilight the Applications menu item. Look for
Microsoft Excel Worksheet. If you don't see it create one. The MIME
type should be: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint The suffixes should be:
ppt,ppa,pps,pot,pwz In the handled by section of the dialog box, check
the Application checkbox and set the path to wherever the nspptview
helper script is located and pass a %s argument. For example, if
nspptview is located in /usr/local/bin, then you would put:
/usr/local/bin/nspptview %s
in the Application path box.. (As a side note, make sure the nspptview
script can find the ppthtml program or it won't work.) Click on the OK
and you are done. You should be able to use the Test.ppt file that is
distributed with the program to verify its configured correctly.
