John,
PS: I played with it as I felt like I was being defeated! I tried the expert way and got it to work, somewhat. I deleted the files, saved and then started over again. I added the swf file. I went to html editor and opened up the file that had the powerpoint I saved in Open Office as an swf and copied the html. From there, I went to VSD and pasted it in the html body and saved. When I click the preview button in VSD, the page opens up and has a link that I made, Click to see the powerpoint. When I click on it, I get the message below. Then I thought, maybe it's not linked properly. So when I click the link button, I get the Microsoft window that tells me I received an error and asks me if I want to send or not send the report. I think I am close but not sure what I did wrong or what I need to fix. Whatever help you can provide me will be deeply appreciated! Thanks so much for the education!!

Vito,
Don't use the HTML editor for this! I guess you downloaded the vito-06.vnu file. Copy one of the HTML boxes in this design to your own design (you can open VSD 2 times to make it easy to copy things from one design to another). Then change the code to adapt it to your situation. This is the code for the flash clock (inside the HTML object called 'clock'):

<a
href="http://www.johnvanhulst.com/vito/analogeklok.swf"
onclick="window.open(this.href, 'popupwindow',
'width=200,height=300,resizable');
return false;">
<b><font size="2" face="verdana" color="black">clock</font></b>
</a>

you can see a link to the flash file. This should be changed to http://www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.swf
you see a 'width' and a 'height' number. Change this to what you need.
you see a definition for the font that is used for displaying the link text. you can change the size, the type and the color to your needs, make the text bold or not (if not, remove <b> and </b>). And of course change the text 'clock' to something else, like 'Powerpoint Presentation'.
Success, John
P.S. Don't forget that you have to upload the website at least once before you can see the result! If you forget this, of course you get error messages, because the swf file in the link can't be found....
Also don't forget to add the swf file to your site by adding it in VSD. Go to settings>Add files, browse for the file, add it and click OK. VSD will upload it automatically to the 'root' of your domain, the place you marked in the link...
