SYMPTOMS
If you save a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that contains animations as a Web page (.htm) or as a Web archive (.mht), some of the animations in the HTML version of the presentation may render slowly or appear to be choppy compared to the original presentation.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following viewing options for your presentation:
 * You want your audience to see and to experience all the PowerPoint slide show features in full fidelity. To do this, have your audience use the PowerPoint version in which the slide show was created.
 * You are not using the slide show features that are specific to Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. However, you want PowerPoint to display the animations, the slide transitions, and the multimedia to your audience just as PowerPoint displays them to you. To do this, have your audience view the presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint 97, in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, in Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, or in PowerPoint 2007.
 * Your presentation does not contain any macros or ActiveX controls. In this case, have your audience view the presentation by using the Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Viewer.
 * You are using animation and transition features that are specific to PowerPoint 2002 or to PowerPoint 2003, and your audience does not have PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003. In this case, use the PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003 HTML format. There will be some loss of performance and fidelity when the presentation is viewed as a Web page.
