Hi Maciej,

About the first link, this allows me to embed a powerpoint presentation I create on to my website, which is not what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a way to allow my users to create their own presentations on my site, and then allow them to export the file to powerpoint.

Currently I'm using OpenXML to do the export. I convert the HTML into OpenXML and the try to export the file as a powerpoint slide. This part is diffcult because I then need to define a position, size, and type for every image, text, graphs, shapes etc. this becomes quite tedious to do, so I'm looking for a more elegant and cleaner solution. This would work eventually and I know it, but I'm just looking to see if there's a faster way out!

Well, I have a workable solution in mind, but my jquery/javacript skills are average.I tried building it, and it's not the most user friendly solution available.
If you know someway I could maybe get the presentation builder working through an iframe, or maybe integrate some tools, I'd be looking at a faster solution.

What I've tried so far is to use jquery to build slides, and then export them using openXML. It's worked with my tests so far, but I still need to go into more details with each and every feature of the tool working side by side... which is quite a task.
So I'm looking for something easier to build. Any ideas would be helpful!

Thanks Maciej,
But what I'm looking for is a way to build the presentation, and then export to powerpoint. Not to just display the presentation.
Any other suggestions ?

Not a solution to your problem, but maybe a suggestion for the future. Check out OpenXML for Excel. It allows you to read and write to excel at lightning fast speeds as compared to the interop. Unless there are calculations on the excel, you're far better off using OpenXMl.

@GeorgeJonsson Thanks for the update. Yes, the rules for a leap year are more detailed than I had thought. I had to look it up! He's better off sticking to the DateTime class to get the details!
