There are a few ways to import Powerpoints but none may provide the results you expect/require.

My Prefered method is to save the Powerpoint presentation as a Webpage (html).

Choose File/ Save as Webpage

Give the html page a name ieMyPowerpoint.html) and for Save as Type choose "Webpage(*.htm, *html)

This creates a html page with the title of the Powerpoint ie: myPowerpoint.html and also a folder with all the javascript, xml html files required to run the slides etc.

Then, instead of zipping the files and importing them, I create a Resource for the Course and choose Webpage, then point to the html file.

When the User clicks on this resource it open the Powerpoint webpage.

Importing the Powerpoint directly makes Moodle put each slide on a seperate page also but removes any animations.Effects etc and places all Slide Text. images on the page.

The inported Powerpoints are best kept simple with text and images being static.

It would be better if Moodle could link to an .exe file, which would then make it more practical to create a "Package for CD" option, (link to the PowerpointViewer) which would show powerpoints correctly.

hope this helps.
