Quick Links
Have you ever wanted to demonstrate a live website during a PowerPoint presentation?
A better solution is to use live information from the web in your presentation.
We selected the 2007/2010 version in this test.
Once it’s downloaded, extract the files as normal.
Now, in PowerPoint, bring up the Options window.
Select Add-Ins on the left side, then select PowerPoint Add-ins from the Manage menu, and click Go.
This will fire up the PowerPoint Add-ins window.
Click Add New to add the LiveWeb addin we downloaded previously.
Browse to the folder where you extracted the LiveWeb addin, and select it.
PowerPoint may warn you that the addon contains a macro.
Click Enable Macros to continue.
From the Insert tab, select Web Page from the LiveWeb section.
This will open a quick Wizard interface that will help you insert a webpage into your presentation.
Enter the website you’d like to visit in the first line, then nudge the Add button.
see to it to include http:// in front of the website address.
Once you’ve added the website you wish to visit, click Next.
LiveWeb will automatically refresh the web page, but if you want you might uncheck the box.
Click Next to continue.
you’re able to always change this later if you like.
Once it’s finished, click Finish to return back to PowerPoint.
LiveWeb will let you know it successfully added the web page to your slide.
Feel free to resize or move the webpage section in your slide however you want.
To view the actual web content, you’ll need to start a slideshow.
hit the slideshow button at the bottom of the window to switch quickly.
Now you’ll see a live webpage loaded right inside your PowerPoint presentation.
If you should probably change your webpage, tap the Edit Page Property button on the Insert tab.
Enter the new website address you want, and finish as before.
you could also add multiple web pages to a presentation if you’d like.
You could even make a webpage comparison like we did with screenshots in our first slide.
