	~~===Instructions ===~~
	The instructions below works in Moodle 1.6 and 1.7 and are the same for presentations created with versions of PowerPoint prior to MS Office 2003. Remember to make the code adjustment in ImportPPT if you wish only to use PowerPoint 2003.

	~~#Create a PowerPoint presentation called e.g. myPresentation.ppt (possiby including embedded images).~~
	~~#Save your PowerPoint presentation as html pages~~
	~~#PowerPoint will create (in your chosen destination):~~
	~~##one myPresentation.htm file~~
	~~## one myPresentation_files folder (this folder would be called myPresentation_fichiers with a French version of Windows, etc.)~~
	~~#Then zip the entire myPresentation_files folder to a myPresentation_files.zip file. You do not need the myPresentation.htm file.~~
	~~# In your Moodle course, in Edit mode, Add an activity, Add a lesson, give it a name and set its parameters.~~
	~~# On the following screen you are given a choice of: What would you like to do first?~~
	~~## Import questions~~
	~~## Import PowerPoint~~
	~~## Add a Content (Branch Table) page~~
	~~## Add a Question Page~~
	~~# Select Import PowerPoint. On the next screen, upload the myPresentation_files.zip file. Et voila!~~

	The above instructions works in Moodle 1.6 and 1.7 without any changes for presentations created with versions of PowerPoint prior to MS Office 2003. Remember to make the code adjustment in ImportPPT if you wish only to use PowerPoint 2003.
