Live Web Pages in PowerPoint Slide Show?

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow the display of a live web page
while running a PowerPoint slide show? There is a free ActiveX control that
does this in Windows, but I don't know of anything that will work with the
Mac version of PowerPoint (or even Keynote for that matter)...

Any options/suggestions?

Hi David,

Active-X does not work in MacOS. That would be a nice to have feature.

Apple is the most likely entity to port Active-X to the Mac. You can suggest
that they do so here:

Of course anyone who wants to can port Active-X to the Mac. Here's the link
to the specification in case you have nothing to do this weekend and want to
port it yourself

That's the beauty of open source. It's free.
