Hi Forrest, I have never done this so if you get a better response please ignore this message. I believe Rootsweb has a Unix-type operating system and they don't have any programs to run powerpoint applications. Therefore you need to create output files from Powerpoint in Html or PDF formats that will run on Rootsweb. Start by checking your Powerpoint HELP documentation to see if there is an easy way to do this. First check the "save as" feature. I have Powerpoint 2003 and I checked my documentation and was pointed to a site http:pptools.com/faq00312.htm and on this site it says that a program called Prep4PDF is available for sale for $89.95. Take some time to review this site as well as some of the discussion about the technical issues. One of the points made was that you could use other programs to generate PDF files but you would lose some of the Powerpoint features. If you can live without or find work arounds for those features you would not need the Prep4PDF program. Sorry I couldn't offer better solutions. Good Luck.

I've used a product called BCL easy PDF Printer for years. No hassles, just print any document and you have a PDF file.
