Importing PPT slideshows

[Alan Houser]

If the PowerPoint slide sections are contiguous, I would consider using 
Adobe Acrobat to combine multiple PDF files -- some produced from 
FrameMaker or Word; some produced from PowerPoint. All of the options 
for working with PowerPoint content in FrameMaker are problematic, 
especially if content will continue to be updated in PowerPoint. You can 
even add rudimentary headers/footers in Acrobat to handle the inevitable 
page numbering issues.
