NAME
       ppthtml - A program for converting Microsoft Power Point	Files .ppt

SYNOPSIS
       ppthtml 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 de-
       limitted	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.
