text: how do you convert a powerpoint program to flash? i want to convert a 16 minute powerpoint program to flash to be uploaded to a website that can then be viewed by visitors to the website. is there a free way to do this? nope, the free programs that are out there only allow you to convert small, and i mean small, sized powerpoints. in all actuallity, a 16 minute presentation is actually a bit large for a flash file, and most likely wouldn't be worth the time it takes to convert, much less the money.
