Hi,

I'd like to embed a plotly visualization exported using htmlwidgets::SaveWidget inside Powerpoint (work requirement). I'm aware of the plotly plugin for Office, but my visualizations are not hosted on the plotly service due to confidentiality reasons, hence the local save of the html file.

To embed html files, one could use LiveWeb like this post, or use utilize the Web Browser object in a macro as here.

I was able to successfully embed a basic html file, both locally and on the internet. However, it appears my exported plotly visualization is not rendering using the LiveWeb plugin (or the macro method).

Would anyone happen to know why the visualization is not rendering? Is it because of javascript? Is there a way to get it to work? I know it's probably more appropriate to ask the authors of LiveWeb, but I figure I'd get a better chance from the open source community. I've also raised a similar question on htmlwidgets. Thank you for your help.
