SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, you save a PowerPoint presentation file as a Web Archive file (.mht, .mhtml) and then view the slide show with an Internet browser. When you do this, the following commands are missing:
 * Go
 * Meeting Minder
 * Speaker Notes
 * Pointer Options
 * Screen
 * Help

In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you save a PowerPoint presentation file as a Single File Web Page file (.mhtml) and then view the slide show with an Internet browser. When you do this, the following commands are missing:
 * Go
 * Pointer Options
 * Screen
 * Help

When you view the slide show with an Internet browser, you may experience the following symptoms:
 * The shortcut menu is available even though the Popup menu on right mouse-click check box is not selected.
 * The pop-up menu button does not appear in the lower-left corner even though the Show popup menu button check box is selected.
 * The slide show ends with a black slide even though the End with black slide check box is not selected.



CAUSE
This behavior is expected because the Web Archive version of the slide show trades some functionality for the ability to show slides on different browsers and on computers that do not have PowerPoint installed. The settings for the slide show in PowerPoint cannot have the same functionality as the settings for the slide show in an Internet browser.



MORE INFORMATION

 * Next
 * Previous
 * End Show
