Thanks! I have to use Powerpoint. I have already created XSL-FO to
convert my XML to PDF via XSL-FO and an XSLT transformation for chunking
the XML into HTML for slides. This works well for me. However, I have to
supply my slides to someone in Powerpoint and they will not accept HTML
slides. I will still make the PDF available because the resulting PDF
contains more 'verbage' than the slides as handouts.
After Wendell's and Michael Hahn's responses I tried to import my HTML
slides - very messy.
However, I will simplify my XSLT --> HTML conversion and see if it imports
better. It has to be better than cutting and pasting! I was hoping there
was something like RTF.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!
Betty

I have an XML presentation that I need to convert to Powerpoint.
Has anyone done an automatic conversion using XSLT? Any advice
for automatic conversion?
I haven't used Powerpoint for presentations for several years.
In case the requirement to use Powerpoint is relaxed you could generate a
set of "slides" that are html -- as Kurt Cagle did once:

See also his technique adapted for client-side presentations:

The source.xml is transformed to html using the old MS dialect of XSL
Patterns. It should be easy to do the same with xslt.
