Hi John, You can actually do this without ever "leaving" Rev.
In PowerPoint (what version are you running by the way?), there is an option to Save As -> Other Formats. Select Web Page (HTM, HTML) - this is in PowerPoint 2007 but the ability to translate PPT to HTML had been around for awhile.. This will convert your PowerPoint presentation to a format that can be run from any web server. Now build a Rev window and use revBrowserOpen to open a browser window. Use the other revBrowser handlers to add whatever controls you need. Then navigate the HTML version of the PPT presentation right from inside of Rev. Option 2: If you have Camtasia (since you are in education, if you don't have it, you can get it pretty cheap ;-), Camtasia has an option to convert PPT to a standard SWF movie embedded into an HTML page. In this case, you can upload the HTML to a web server, or you can just take the .swf movie and place it locally on a hard drive. Again you do the same thing. You create a Rev window and use revBrowser to play the movie. With either of these options, you never leave Rev and it's cross platform.
