Creating a portable powerpoint with plugin
Hi, I am creating a powerpoint that uses the liveweb plugin which i have got working on a single computer, but i need the powerpoint to be portable without having to install the plugin on each computer. The plugin saves in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Shyam Pillai" meaning it is only on the system. If i save it in the same folder as the powerpoint it will still unlikely work as there may be a different drive letter (saved on USB). Another problem is if a user downloads it from the internet, which would result in a completely different file directory. Is there a way to save a plugin with the powerpoint to allow it to work portably? thanks |

If you just need to show a web page you may not need Shyam's Plug in. The code to do this is not difficult. Download the sample here and see if it does something close to your needs. If so you should be able to see how it was built. Make sure you enable macvros and editing.

Your example works and is exactly what i need, thanks. However, i cant find the control toolbox section. ive searched for where it should be, which is in the developer menu, but i dont know how to access this section.

My fault in older version it was called "Control Toolbox" and is referred to as that by developers!
If you have enabled the DEVELOPER Tab (File > Options> Customize Ribbon > Tick Developer. Go to Controls - The last one looks like a hammer and wrench / (spanner if you are English). Click this and select Microsoft Web Browser from the list |

Do you mean auto load a webpage??
Insert a module (ALT f11, Insert Module) and add this code: Code:
Sub OnSlideShowPageChange(SW As SlideShowWindow) If SW.View.CurrentShowPosition = 1 Then 'or whatever slide number 'change target and maybe name of object SW.View.Slide.Shapes("WebBrowser1").OLEFormat.Object.Navigate ("http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk") End If End Sub |

Extra tip.
If you try to run on a PC with 2013 there's a good chance it will fail. MSFT decided in its wisdom that scriptable objects (like the web browser) were dangerous and added a killbit which effectively stops it working. If it's YOUR PC you can kill the killbit in the registry but maybe not a great plan if it's someone else's! |
