I appreciate the response.

There are two reasons I'm not happy with the powerpoint avenue...

#1 - The recipient can't SAVE the powerpoint presentation to their blackberry hard drive (internal or external memory card)...so they can't archive it.
They have to keep the email on their blackberry and in our company, they expire after 30 days, which is a problem;

#2 - Powerpoint (unless I'm not fully up to speed on it), forces you to make
BIG pictures out of each slide (which make the size of the powerpoint file and the time it takes to load the pictures take alot longer). I really only need to send a 320 x 240 size picture, but if I import that into powerpoint, it doesn't fill the page, I have to stretch it to fill the screen, and then I'm back to having huge files again.

If there were ways around these issues, then I'd be happy to use powerpoint.

The problem with the movie idea is that you can't read of movie off an email as an attachment...you have to load it onto the memory card or intern memory via a PC, and I want the user to be able to stop and stay on each page of the slide as long as they, and until they feel comfortable going onto the next step in the next slide.
