Hi all,

I have a webpage that currently display a powerpoint slides.  
The problem is that other can download the slides which I really dont want.

Could someone please help me with the following issues:

I dont want to convert the ppt slides to .swf then convert them to flash but rather let flash open the .ppt directly and display on the webpage.

Thanks in advance for your help.
