When you open the Web page, the file opens in PowerPoint and does not open in Word.

Case 2
When you right-click the Web page in the Open dialog box and then click Open in Microsoft Word, a blank Web page is opened.



Case 1
When a Web page is saved from PowerPoint, the association of the file is saved as part of the file header. When you try to open the Web page in Word, the header is read, and PowerPoint is automatically started to open the page.
