Don't Let IE Give You the Presentation Runaround
Internet Explorer may not allow attachments to presentations to display prop-
erly when you publish them locally—that is, to a zip file or a CD-formatted file,
for two reasons:
•
Security settings in Internet Explorer prevent an Internet page from access-
ing and running files on a local system. While this feature is terrific for pro-
tecting your system, it adds a touch of aggravation to your development
process.
•
An Adobe Presenter publication runs locally in your Flash Player, and Inter-
net Explorer deems file downloads via Flash Player as unsafe. Another touch
of aggravation.
What to do? Here are some options. The best choice depends on how you need
to use the content:
•
Create PDF output (the simplest solution—read about it in #69).
•
Store the attached files on a Web server or network drive and make hyperlinks
in PowerPoint rather than via Adobe Presenter.
•
Publish the presentation to an online LMS storage repository, like Connect
Pro Server.
