Alternate languages / wording for Links, etc.

PPT2HTML adds ALT text (ie, what looks like tooltip text in your browser) to most of the links it creates automatically.

You may prefer different wording or a different language for the ALT text.

PPT2HTML lets you write your own link text. It reads optional link text from the [PPT2HTML] section of the PPTOOLS.INI file. If it finds settings there, it uses them, otherwise it uses its defaults (ie, "Next Slide", "Previous Slide" and so on.)

Here are the values you can add to the INI file, the defaults PPT2HTML uses if it finds no INI entry and the way each entry or default is used:

INI setting Default text Used as ALT text when PPT2HTML creates
NextText= Next NEXT slide links
PreviousText= Previous PREVIOUS slide links
SlideText= Slide Links that refer to SLIDES. For example "Next slide" or "Slide 42".
You might wish to substitute "Page" or "Pagina"
EndShowCloseWindowText= End Show and Close Window Links from END SHOW actions
ThisIsTheFirstSlideText= This is the first slide Links to the first slide in the presentation and it's already on the first slide
FirstSlideText= First slide Links to the first slide in the presentation
ThisIsTheLastSlideText= This is the last slide Links to the last slide in the presentation and it's already on the last slide
LastSlideText= Last slide Links to the last slide in the presentation
LinkToText= Link to Links to another slide or URL (it appends the slide number or url to the text, e.g. "Link to http://www.rdpslides.com/ppt2html"
PlayText= Play Links to a sound (PPT2HTML appends the name of the sound file, e.g. "Play CAMERA.WAV")
RunText= Run Links that run a program or external file (PPT2HTML appends the name of the file to run, e.g. "Run NOTEPAD.EXE")
  • Click the Edit PPTools.INI button on the Programming toolbar to open PPTOOLS.INI
  • Locate the section of the INI file that begins with [PPT2HTML]
  • Add any needed lines to the end of this section. For example:

  • PlayText=Click here to play 
    
    would produce "Click here to play CAMERA.WAV" instead of the default "Play CAMERA.WAV"
    SlideText=Pagina
    
    would produce "Pagina" (Spanish for "page") instead of "Slide"
  • Save and close PPTOOLS.INI
