Your reply to my post on Jan 16 didn’t address some core questions I have AND Articulate and Camtasia are too expensive for me. ???

These are IMHO. Other PowerPoint experts may recommend something else.
Another alternative is to put it on SkyDrive. That’s how all my tutorials work.

I quit my technical writing job in the technology industry to devote my time to this. I am running on savings, part-time work, and faith, so finances are lean.

I need your advise regarding the best and most affordable powerpoint converter I can use to create multi-platform, viewable files that (a) allow the viewer to load the presentation on their own computer and (b) actually interact with the presentation (starting and stopping the slides at will).

Download requirements:

1. Viewable on Macs, PCs, tablets. Not just new operating systems, but also some of the older ones (within reason). Some of my audience will not be tech geeks and may have older devices and operating systems.
2. Small file size so they can be emailed, preferably without a separate viewer.

Must Support These PowerPoint Functions:

zoom/pan, fade in/out animations, audio narration, hypertext links to outside htmls, etc.

Options and Concerns:

Powerpoint to Flash: I like what I’ve learned about this.
• Already is supported by all browsers on all platforms.
• Passes firewalls easily
• Resizes to browsers automatically
• Creates very small files sizes
• Provides copy security not available in HTML solutions
• Allows for embedded controls to let user control playback, stop, rewind.

BUT I’ve been told Flash is no longer supported by Microsoft browsers and that it is not long for this world any more. Does that leave me with a PPT to HTML format as my option?

ISpring does a conversion to HTML5, but I’m concerned about 3 things. (1) Only supports HTML 5, which means only the latest browsers. (2) File sizes (3) Cost.

You seem to be the reigning expert on these issues. Your advise would be deeply appreciated.

With respect,

I am doing it exactly as you say and when I hit enter it changes back to the 40816 no matter what date I put in and nothing changes on the spreadsheet. Do I need to do something else to see it change the spreadsheet?

Type the date in this format in the minimum axis box: 01/01/2013 and click ok
Repeat for the maximum axis box for the upper date range.
Excel will automatically convert it to the numeric equivalent of the date (which is what you’re seeing as 40816)

I did read the link and did not understand what I need to do to fix it. Can you tell me what steps I need to do to get the date range to work?

Thanks for your work and help.

The application is, appropriately enough, called Andrea Mosaic. A version is available for virtually every operating system and professional versions are also available for a very small fee of $35. You can even capture images from video and use them to create your mosaics.

Our eyes tell us a story first. Great article!
