We use the free version of Ispring to convert them to Flash as there is the option to use Ispring in Xerte.

If you set images to display full screen they will be resized to a maximum of 760 x 460px so if your original image was larger then it will lose quality.
I wouldn't recommend this as a way of viewing powerpoints in toolkits - Alistair's suggestions would definitely be a better way to go

I can think of two options that would work in Xerte Toolkits:

1) Use the free version of Print2Flash to convert the PowerPoint to Flash paper format then add through the Flash paper page type:

2) Use the Navigator page to hyperlink to the full PowerPoint:

Gernerally I'd keep PowerPoints as PowerPoints and use Xerte when I wanted to add extra benefits for students - like interactivities or questions.

Subject: [Xerte] PPT import

Hi,

I would like to import the slides of a ppt presentation into xerte. I have saved the ppt slides into jpeg and placed into xerte as pictures. But I have noticed that the quality as bad that I can't even read the text. I guess maybe the dimensions of the jpeg isn't ok for xerte. Could you tell me what is the best method to place the ppt slides into xerte.

Thank you in advance.

Bal?zs
