Why is it so difficult to convert PowerPoint to Flash manually?

A professional PowerPoint presentation is often too big, so distribution becomes problematic.

Of course, you can always send a 50 Mb presentation; but what if your recipients can't download such a file, or they don't have PowerPoint installed, or their spam filter deletes your PowerPoint presentation? All of these problems can be solved quickly by converting a presentation to Flash.

To avoid all problems you can convert your presentation into Flash and get all of the Flash format advantages - much smaller file size, compatibility with most of platforms and browsers, and there is no need to have PowerPoint installed.

Some people like to convert PowerPoint presentations to Flash manually using .wmf files. Yes, this is a way to go, but keep in mind that a Windows Meta File (.wmf) can't retain the complexity of the original PowerPoint presentation. You can lose all of the quality of your presentation. Because retaining quality is so important when converting PowerPoint to Flash, many converters continuously improve to retain a higher level of complexity of PowerPoint presentations.

Are there other means of converting PowerPoint to Flash manually? Maybe the most effective way is to create a presentation with Flash technology, without using PowerPoint or any other presentation software. Professional Flash developers often do it, but they have a high knowledge level of Flash technology. Even Flash developers use PowerPoint converters to minimize time expenses.

Other people use the software OpenOffice Impress. This is a nice variant, but many people are still used to MS Office suite, and MS software is more popular than OpenOffice. In any case, it's been proven that OpenOffice Impress doesn't retain high presentation quality.
