How can you add HTML to Microsoft Powerpoint?

HTML is a 'mark-up' language, used to transport structure and content for pages in a very simply, plain text only format. It means it has serious limits. Desktop environments by contrast have the ability to deal with much heavier code and therefore there are options that are far better than HTML for doing almost anything.

That being said, there is one option that I have used and that is to create a website on your computer that you never post to the Internet and use your browser to do the presentation rather than the Powerpoint slideshow. The advantage is you don't have to worry about cross browser issues (because you are simply using your browser as a slide show, and don't need to worry about what it will appear like on others.) Plus you can stick it on the Internet and others can use it.

It's not a great option, but it can work if you have some things that you simply only know how to do in html.
