Hey, mk. You know computer stuff, don't you?

How would I go about putting a power point (from a zip drive) here onto FR?

My husband has IT guys do everything, so he's less computer literate than I am!

There are some personal photos that I would obviously not want to post, so I'd have to take them out, but I haven't got a clue as to how to present the rest. (I can post threads - have done several hundred. It's the power point I don't know how to adapt).

Oh.........and I wonder what category I would post it under??

Any suggestions?

You might consider having Mr OH deconstruct the presentation into a text file (since it started off more or less that way), and post the individual text captions in perhaps the Blogger/Personal section of FR, and use any image hosting service to include the appropriate pictures accompanying the text (I like Image Shack these days, they have a piece of software that uploads your pics directly from your hard drive without even needing to visit their website each time), i.e., basically post the contents of the Presentation minus the Power Point slide show function, my own PwrPnt experience is a little limited, truth be told but that would be my suggestion.

Oops, just noticed you said the presentation was on a zip drive (presumably placed there by his IT people?), Power Point itself should allow you to selectively save the various portions you want, as PP has an edit function to the best of my recollection. If you have Power Point installed on your system (and to view it I presume you do), you ought to be able to examine it slide by slide (page-by-page) and save the sections you want individually.
