For geeks only:

*It's an Adobe Flash file, which is by far the most compact way of making PowerPoint available on the web. You sacrifice some of the animation and interactivity, but it is small and just one file. You can't export as Flash from Powerpoint, of course. However, just download (completely free--not even any ads) OpenOffice from http://www.openoffice.org/ I say "just" download--it will take a while because OpenOffice is a serious competitor to Microsoft Office, on all fronts. It is fully compatible with MS Office in all but a few esoteric respects (like custom animations), but improves on it in various ways;

• it is FREE
• it can save directly to Acrobat (.pdf) files
• and if appropriate to Flash...

I'm a fan, obviously; but not merely because of the above. For those of you teaching introductory ICT; why are you teaching MS Office? I know it is installed on all the college machines, but there is nothing to stop them installing OpenOffice alongside it. It is FREE, after all. And it is not flaky; it is the non-commercial version of Sun Microsystems office suite, StarOffice, which is the standard package for the German government... And you could legally and legitimately give it to your learners on a CD; saving them at least £120 (you might have to charge them 20p for the disc, of course).

Come to think of it, why Windows? OpenOffice is originally a Linux package...
