    Microsoft Office Template and Media Control

    I want to distribute Powerpoint templates to my website visitors the way Microsoft does it on their site--click download and the template opens in Powerpoint.

    I think this is done with an activex control--is this a relatively simple task to accomplish? Could a determined novice do it with some blood and sweat?

    Thank you.

    No. Lots of blood, lots of sweat, and a river of tears.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.
