SUMMARY
If you save your PowerPoint presentation as a Web page using the default save options, you will not be able to view the Web page using a Netscape Navigator browser or a Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x browser.
MORE INFORMATION
When you save or publish a Web presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, the file is saved in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format, which is optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. This format provides the best fidelity, fastest performance, and smallest file size.
However, if your Web presentation will be viewed using any version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, you can 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 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0:
- You first receive a warning page with the following text: This page is included automatically when you create your Web site with PowerPoint.
- 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 selected in the outline pane.
- The mouse does not highlight elements in the outline pane.
- Sounds and movies do not play.
- Some graphics will not look as good as they do in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.
