SUMMARY
If you save your Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentation as a Web
page by using the default save options, you will not be able to view the Web page
using a Netscape Navigator or Communicator 4.7 or earlier browser, or a
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x browser.
The Netscape 6.x or 7.x
browser may allow you to view portions, but not all of your Web presentation.
In particular, some graphics and shapes may be missing. Animations may not
behave as expected.
MORE INFORMATION
When you save or publish a Web presentation in PowerPoint,
the file is saved in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML/MHTML) format, which is
optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. This format provides
the best fidelity, fastest performance, and smallest file size.
Although Netscape 6.x and later does support many of the same Extensible Markup
Language (XML) capabilities as Internet Explorer, it does not fully implement
all of these features. If your Web presentation will be viewed using any
version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, follow these
steps to allow your presentation to be viewed by any browser:
- On the File menu, click Save as Web Page, and then click Publish.
- In the Publish as Web Page dialog box,
click All browsers listed above (creates larger files).
NOTE: If you have any version of Netscape Navigator, Netscape
Communicator, Netscape, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0:
- You first receive a warning page with the following text:
This presentation contains content that your browser may
not be able to show properly. This presentation was optimized for more recent
versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
If you would like to proceed
anyway, click here.
- Animations, including slide transitions, are not supported
(except animated GIF pictures).
- GIF pictures might not be animated if the presentation is
saved with a Screen size setting of 640 x 480 or less. (On the Tools menu, click Options. Click Web Options on the General tab, and then click the Pictures tab.)
- The slide is not scaled to fit the Web browser window. It
stays at a fixed screen resolution based on the Screen size
setting that you selected when you published the presentation. (On the Tools menu, click Options. Click Web Options on the General tab, and then click the Pictures tab. Adjust the Screen size setting as
necessary.)
- The presentation cannot be viewed in full-screen
mode.
- You cannot open or close frames.
- The active slide title is not highlighted in the outline
pane.
- The mouse does not highlight elements in the outline
pane.
- Sounds and movies do not play.
- Some graphics do not look as good as they do in Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.
Note To locate Web Options in PowerPoint 2007, follow these steps:
- Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click PowerPoint Options.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Click Web Options at the bottom of the page.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
