Create a Slide Library from MS Powerpoint 2007 - can Alfresco do that?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi all,
I am on Alfresco 4.2.c and I am trying to create a <strong>Slide Library</strong> from MS Powepoint 2007 (using the function Publish Slides) through the SharePoint Protocol Support.

I always get the dialog showing the error "Impossible to access http://myhost:7070/alfresco. The path doesn't exist or you don't have permission to use this resource" (I am traslating from italian).

But I can confirm that the SharePoint Protocol is working because I created two shared spaces (both from MS Outlook and MS Word) without problems.

I do not have any other log to attach.

Can you help me to find the problem?

Thank you
Alex

Just a quick update. I found that in order to be able to publish slides from MS Powerpoint you must first create a particular type of site in SharePoint: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/create-a-slide-library-HA010174117.aspx

Does Alfresco support that type of site?
