Abstract

A method and system for automatically translating slides in a slide presentation file into a series of corresponding slide HTML pages for displaying a slide show with a viewing facility such as a browser. An animated object is generated for each object in the HTML page that is related to an animation of the object in the corresponding slide created for presentation by the other facility. A queue is generated for defining the order and time line for the graphical display of each animated and non-animated object of each HTML page. The browser graphically displays the contents of each HTML page in accord with the order and time line defined by the queue so that a graphical display of the generated slide show is presented to the user in a manner that is related to the intended presentation by the other facility of the originally created slide show. Divisions in the HTML page are created with nested DIV tags so that percentages related to default dimensions in the HTML page may be used to define the dimensions of a display space for objects included in the HTML page. The objects may include text, movies, audio clips, animations, transitions, images, and image maps associated with hyperlinks. User interface controls are provided to select options for animating objects and transitions and automatically fitting the objects in the page to the size of the display.
