And here I was thinking I was the only one silly enough to be working at
this hour.

That was a nice report Viki. I would like to see a Web presentation done
with Corel. That seems to be the interest of many educators. How do I put
PP presentations on the Web. I wonder how Corel publishes to the Web?

It has taken me a very long time to figure out a method for narrated
PowerPoint presentations. RealPresenter is certainly not the answer.

If you have a Corel presentation online, please send me the URL? I would
love to take a look at it. Does Corel export to .jpg or .gif?
