John Paul - So this is really a separate file type and presentation system? We are supporting corporate customers who are really tied to PPT already so we really need something that can generate a PPT slide completely.

This doesn't *exactly* meet the requirements, but there's a web-based presentation tool, S5 (http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/) that feels a lot like PowerPoint (unless you use really fancy transistions) but is all (x)HTML under the hood. It *might* be easier just to use it since you can use the HTML you are already building directly in a slide, embed images, etc -- and then package it all up to take on the road. It's a single HTML file, a theme, a JS file, and any media you include. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
