A user compiling graphic slides for a presentation has the ability search
or navigate through a presentation slide repository, select slides that
the user desires, download the selected slides to a file at the location
of the user and convert these slides into a slide presentation format
using a slide program such as PowerPoint.RTM. In this method, the
navigation and download slide steps can be performed in a browser on a
computer network environment. The conversion and display function can be
performed with software located in the user machine optionally in
combination with server side software.
