MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006Text becomes Jagged when file is saved as a web page
The following happens when I save my ppt slides as a web page: On some ppt slides the font becomes jagged for all text... On other slides the font is perfect... And on some slides just random text is jagged. Also, when the text becomes jagged, it looks like the text has been formatted to be bold (and it is not). I'm using PPT2002 that came with Office XP Professional. This is because some text is saved as images. Unless otherwise specified images aresaved as JPor GIF, resulting in jaggering of text in the process. When saving as web page, go to "web options/browesers" and tick the option "Allow PNG". This is suppoted only on IE6+, but gives sharp defined text. > The following happens when I save my ppt slides as a web page: > On some ppt slides the font becomes jagged for all text...

When using "web page preview", some of the text changes to a bold looking jagged edged font (very sloppy). Any other suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. If I have to, I could send you an attachment of the files. > This is because some text is saved as images.

What happens if you re-create the slide from scratch (slides sometimes go corrupt for reasons unknown; one symptom is that the text font/boldness changes ... not when editing or in slideshow mode but when you export to PNG or other image files, which also happens when saving as HTML.) What's the difference between the perfect slides and the jagged slides? I'm asking because ISTR Steve Rindsberg once explaining to me why saving as web page resulted in crappy looking charts. I can't remember the details, but I think it had to do with PPT creating images with lower bit-depth because it didn't see anything on the slide that made it think it needed better quality. Personally, I'd just grab Steve's PPT2HTML utility and be done with it. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptools/ppt2html/index.html  SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ PPTLive!

The difference is that the text in the regular slides are perfect (using Arial Narrow) and in web page preview they sometimes look perfect but most of the time they look jagged. I have to fix this problem. I downloaded the demo version of Steve's PPT2HTML utility and used it. My slides still have the same problem. I don't know if something in the preferences would help. If the utility works, I'll order it. Suggestions? > What's the difference between the perfect slides and the jagged slides? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > I'm using PPT2002 that came with Office XP Professional. No, I mean what is the difference with what's on the slides themselves? Are the problem slides just text, whereas the okay slides have text and, oh, I don't know, a company logo or something?

Example: One slide has text and some letters are fuzzy and others are not. Another slide has shapes and 5 or 6 text boxes. Only one of the tex boxes on this slide looks bold and jagged all other text boxes look perfect. On other slides which consist mostly of text boxes 2, 3, or 4 text boxes have fonts that are jagged. > No, I mean what is the difference with what's on the slides themselves?

How about animations? Are the shapes or text on one slide animated, but not on the other?

This may be premature but I noticed that the animations that said "peek in" seem to be causing the problem. I created these slides 3-4 years ago with an older version of ppt. Is there a way to replace all the "peek in" animations (kind of like replacing a font for the entire presentation)? Thanks for your help!!! > How about animations?

Peek in may very well be the problem. I've noticed that some animations cause this problem much more than others. The ones that cause the most problems are ones that bring text in and out before the text settles. I don't know any way to replace a specific animation everywhere in a presentation, but maybe one of the code guys knows of a way....

Slide 4 won't let me fix it, regardless of the animation. The big problem is that I have 1030 slides with an average of 20 animations. There has to be a better way.

If nothing else, I can save you the trouble of testing PPT2HTML ... if animations are important in the HTML version of the show, it's not the tool for you. It won't preserve the animations. > Example: > One slide has text and some letters are fuzzy and others are not. Another > slide has shapes and 5 or 6 text boxes.

Do you have an example on the web we can look at? If so, post a URL. > > No, I mean what is the difference with what's on the slides themselves?

Your partner should know how to upload files to his or her site, no?
