With PowerPoint 2002 I tried saving the presentation to the web (as html)
using File>Save As Web Page

I ran in to 2 problems:

1. When you click on the "Full Screen Slide Show" the right and left arrows
do not work for navigation (i.e. don't change the slide forward or back).

2. Text that was resized to fit on the page in PowerPoint, does not fit on
the html page displayed by Internet Explorer.

Are there solutions to either of these problems.

My objective is to have the PowerPoint presentation in html format for
viewing on the web, the same as if you were viewing the PowerPoint
presentation from PowerPoint.

Thanks for any help,

Huck

There will always be some differences. A web browser is not PowerPoint. And
from one web browser to another, one version to another, one set of settings to
another, a web browser isn't always the same thing.

You can't expect them to behave the same, so you may have to adapt your
presentation in PPT to work with the navigation a web browser offers.

Try adding your own Forward and Back action buttons to the master slide so they
appear on each page of the presentation. Then the user should be able to click
on them to navigate.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Do you have any idea what the master slide would be. There are quite a few
files, including css files, and others. Also, it uses a routine (or file)
called "full screen" which displays the slide full screen, as it would in
powerpoint, adjusted to the size of the viewer's screen. However, I don't
know if you can then put buttons on the screen also.

Any clues you can offer?

thanks,

Huck

I meant the one in PowerPoint; no need to go mucking about in that nasty html
stuff PPT makes. <g>
