The default file type is Single File Web Page when you save a presentation as a Web page in PowerPoint 2003
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
When you click
File, and then click
Save as Web Page to save a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
presentation as a Web page, the default file type is Single File Web Page, and
the default file name extension is .mht or .mhtml. You expect the default file
type for a Web page to be an HTML file and the file name extension to be .htm
or .html, as it is in PowerPoint 2002.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the MHTML format is the default
file type for the
Save as Web Page option in PowerPoint 2003.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following
methods.
Method 1
- On the Tools menu, click
Options.
- Click the General tab, click Web
Options, and then click the Browsers tab.
- Click to clear the Save new Web pages as Single
File Web Pages check box.
- Click OK two times.
Method 2
In the
Save as type list, click
Web Page
(*.htm; *.html).
STATUS
This
behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
If you plan to save most of your PowerPoint presentations as
HTML files, you can change the default PowerPoint presentation file type to
HTML with a file name extension of .htm. To do so, follow these steps:
- Start PowerPoint 2003.
- On the Tools menu, click
Options.
- On the Save tab, in the Save
PowerPoint File as box, click Web Page, and then
click OK.
After you change this setting, if you click
Save
As on the
File menu, the default file type is
Web Page (*.htm; *.html).
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
