I have developed a MS Powerpoint slideshow presenation (view here ... [login to view URL]) and which I want animated with cartoon-like characters. A storybook of ideas for the characters and images already exist and will be provided in due course. Essentially, I want to retain the music and voice-over and to replace the text with various animations per slide that enter in sync with the voice-over and then embed the presenation into into the web page. I'm open to whatever creation program & publishing platform you wish to use - it does not have to be retained as MS Powerpoint unless you think that is easier or best. Thank you, Frank.
