Hi,

I have a problem with the image tiling on html versions of
powerpoints. The originals look fine. It seems to do it consistently
on every slide.
example:

cument.htm

Any ideas on how to get rid of this problem?

Odd. I assume you mean the very large tile for the outline view on the left and small
images on the right plus inability to resize the tiles. At least that's what I'm seeing
here.

I opened this into PPT2003 and saved back as HTML and can't get it to replicate here.

Looks like you targeted IE4 as the browser. Try targeting a later version, see if that
helps.

Hi,

I had a little more time to mess around with this today and have come
to the conclusion that the issue is probably browser specific. The
tiling does not happen in Internet Explorer, but does in Firefox and
Netscape.

I've tried saving it with a wide variety of settings but have been, as
yet, unsuccessful in getting rid of the tiling with browsers other
than MSIE.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it fixable or is it a
built in bug?

Here I'm getting a weird page in both MSIE6 and Opera.

But have you been clearing the cache between attempts when you change settings and
regenerate HTML, or at least hitting the Reload button after bringing the page up?

I've tried all sorts of things, and yes I went back and hit refresh,
it still comes up tiled in Firefox. I ran the W3C and WDG validators
on several of the html PPTs on our site and they all have hundreds of
errors. I guess that Microsoft doesn't work with current basic html
standards???

I'm beginning to think its not fixable, at least not on my end without
rewriting the code for each presentation. I've also checked out other
peoples online html ppts and they seem to all do it.

The HTML that PPT makes tries to be many things to many applications; it makes at
least an attempt to work in several different browsers but also allows PPT itself to
open the html back up as a normal presentation, so what you see is certainly not
garden variety HTML, no.

What's so weird is that I opened your presentation (as above) into PPT then had it
make HTML again and couldn't replicate the problem, even though I'd seen it when
viewing your site directly in the same browser.

You might try kicking the browser security settings for your local area way back, then
have PPT make HTML locally and view that.

While I like the ability to "roundtrip" to HTML and back to PPT I can't say that I
like the HTML either. It either does what you want it to or you adjust your wants to
what it does. I've written an addin that gives you a lot more control over what comes
out the HTML end. You might want to have a look at the site, maybe try the demo
(fully functional). http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/

If you have any questions about it, give me a shout at steve at-sign pptools dot com
