The Web Page Element allows you to display Internet or local web content within a presentation. It supports Microsoft Internet Explorer for rendering web pages. This element can be used for interactive or static web content, with the option to restrict user access, refresh content periodically, or clip specific areas of a webpage. It can also be connected to an external data source to determine the displayed content in real-time.
