The following method allows students to bring up the PowerPoint® presentation within PowerPoint® in a Read-Only mode. However, with this method, students can choose File/Save As to save the presentation with another name on their computers.

  1. In PowerPoint®, choose File/Save As (or go to the ball in the top left corner of your PowerPoint® window and choose Save as/PowerPoint Presentation).
  2. At the drop-down Save type as menu, choose PowerPoint® Show (.pps). For PowerPoint® 2007 users, we recommend that you NOT choose the .ppsx version for compatibility reasons with older web browsers. Rather choose PowerPoint 97-2003 Show (.pps).
  3. In SoftChalk Create, select some text that you want to use as the hyperlink to your PowerPoint® file.
  4. Choose Insert/Hyperlink.
  5. Click Select file and navigate to your PowerPoint® file .pps file.
  6. Once you've selected your file, click Open.
  7. If you want your students to view the PowerPoint® file in a new browser window, then select the checkbox Open the link in a new window.
  8. Click OK to return to your main lesson window.
  9. Choose File/Save.

When you save your lesson, SoftChalk automatically places a copy of the linked PowerPoint® viewable file into your lesson folder. That way, when you are ready to move your lesson folder to another computer or package your lesson all the files are in one folder.

You can publish your PowerPoint® slides as images (with a .jpg format) into Microsoft Word. Then you can copy and paste these images from Word into your SoftChalk lesson. Since you are converting the images rather than the animation, no transitions or effects from PowerPoint® will appear in SoftChalk.
This publishing method allows you to copy and paste the text for the notes.

  1. In PowerPoint®, open your slide show. Choose File/Send To/Microsoft Word. In PowerPoint® 2007, choose the ball in the top left corner of your PowerPoint® window and choose Publish/Create Handouts in Microsoft Office Word.
  2. Choose Notes below slides if you want to have the largest size images.
  3. Click OK. PowerPoint® converts each slide to a jpg file and then automatically opens a Word document and places each of the slide image files into the Word document.
  4. In Word, copy all the text. [You can select all the text using (Ctrl+a) and then copy the text.]
  5. Start SoftChalk Create and choose Edit/Paste. All the slide images and notes will be pasted into your SoftChalk lesson for further editing and enhancement.
