The file association is Microsoft PowerPoint. Many of these members are not savvy enough to be able to 'manipulate' the file and use it as it was designed. Posted 24 July - AM Good article pointing the finger at the server Posted 24 July - AM You should check with others who use office with IE 7 or IE 8 and see if they face the same issue downloading from organizational website. Reopen IE 8 and see if you can download as pptx.
There is no other way as problem is with Web server itself.

I look at the all the pages, then make adjustments in the word file, re-export it until all pages look right in PPT For some reason I have noticed that after i create a web page with PPT, and then zip that folder and bring it into a Lesson, the first letter of the PPT page's content is deleted.
So I said fooie and added a space before the first word on the first line of every level 2. Probably something to do with the hanging format but I am lesson pages into a page project and the teacher will have to live with it our edit each Lesson page themself Keep trying small files. Did you try unpacking the zip file, then using your program to zip the folder back up again Best Chris. Hi Dale, I apologize for not responding sooner. Bald head, long todo list, I've been busy ignoring you and helping others while waiting for somebody to solve my still unsolved problem As you may know, problems with ImportPPT is not just about you.
This zip has my powerpoint and the zip file of the webpage folder the powerpoint created. I checked the zip of the webpage folder on demo.
This will allow others with ppt to see my presentation and follow the steps to see if they can import it into a new lesson. I would suggest after that to start adding fancy stuff to that presentation saving it under a different name and repeating the steps to see what does and does not work. The first one has a picture look what happened to the title , the second one has some bullet points and the last one a text box another word for a box with bullets without bullets.
Well, I would have done more but we have this k limit on uploads and I know this will be a popular item. This was all done with ppt SP-2 and only took me 5 tests before I reached my goal of creating a presentation that was not quite perfect. This might be the way I will end up going. What do you mean exactly by "I package the ppt as a presentation with the view"?
I use the feature within Poweropint to package it as an automatic running presentation. You have to download and inlcude in the PPT package the ppt veiwer which is a free plugin in case the student does not have the full version of PPT. It can also be saved on ther host server as a webpage complete with the viewer and when the link is clicked, it opens up in a new window and plays. This takes Moodle out of the picture no pun intended for actually viewing the PPT presentation and allows you to use whatever formatting you choose.
The down side is if you have limited resources on your host server, then keeping them there for any length of time might not be an option. A second choice is to have the student download a zipped file and extract it to their hard drive and play the presentaion.
Either way, the PPT software has tools built in to accomplish this. Clint, That is a good way. Turning the PowerPoint into a flash presentation is another that techno inclinded Moodlers use because there more program options than PPT viewer. My soapbox: however, you are still left with the PowerPoint way of doing things. I know that it is possible to ask a question on a PowerPoint page and put in links under answers that will redirect the trainee to another slide.
But I can't score it and use other Lesson features which are available if they were real Lesson pages. On the plus side I can print a ppt, have someone vet the hard copy and do all of this off line.
The thing that bothers me is that we have to work on line in the lesson to be able to add formatted content and vet the words on line. Quite honestly, the only text non formatted at that we can import and insert into a lesson between any two pages is a series of Question pages. This is why I push for some sort of OOimpress file import, or an alpha series of pictures import, or a text file import into a series of branch tables.
I only wish we could gain the critical mass that would put this PPT and import feature issue on somebody todo list that has the resources to do it!
Right now Lesson resources are probably being devoted to the new unified 2. Thanks for listening and your suggestion to others. Chris, I wholeheartedly agree. I used your zip file in both the demo. It imported just fine both times. I then created a simple ppt slide no graphics, no bullets, just text. I then opened Winzip and created a new archive. I added all of the files from the folder that was created when I saved as a html page.
Then, I went into the Moodle course site, created a lesson, selected the zipped file that I had just created. I clicked on upload this file and got the "can not obtain data" messaged. Obviously, there I am doing something wrong in creating the web page or the zip file but I am not seeing anything that I am doing differently than the directions or your test files.
Hi Dale, I didn't see the step where you used my ppt presentation with your ppt program, to create a web page folder, which you zipped and then tried to import. Language is wonderful. I thought I zipped the folder , which included the files below it. I don't think I added the files from the folder to a zip file. BTW , I tried including the webpage folder in "stuff" but it pushed me over the k limit.
These instructions are subject to so much interpretation, I am wondering if I should add some screen shots from my PPT Keep at it. My bald dome is testimony to the fact that eventually dawn will break over marblehead!
Best Chris. You are right. I did not zip the folder because Winzip would not let me choose the folder. I could only open the folder, choose the files within it, and then zip them. Hi Dale, Oh yeah.
