Convert Presentations Into Web Pages
by Geetesh Bajaj
PowerPoint confers the title of 'presentation browser' on Internet Explorer.
Yet, to effect a faithful PowerPoint HTML incarnation, one needs to closely understand and apply various configurations hidden within the Web Options dialog box of PowerPoint.
Access to these configurations is not as easy or obvious as expected - choose Tools -> Options. This opens the Options dialog box with its various tabs. Choose the General tab, where you'll click a button called Web Options. The same options are also available from the Options button in the Save As HTML dialog box.
The Web Options box opens with its own slew of six tabs - General, Browsers, Files, Pictures, Encoding and Fonts.
Let's take a closer look at the specific configurations that underly each option.
- The 'General' Tab The first tab is the 'General' tab, consisting of options pertaining to the appearance of finished HTML presentations. The first option is to enable slide navigation controls and choose a specific colour combination like white on black. You can opt to show slide animations while browsing - you may need to have the Office Animation Runtime component installed for this to work.
Finally, you can choose to resize graphics to fit a browser window. It goes without saying that all the three options in the 'General' tab should be ticked to allow a faithful PowerPoint HTML conversion.
- The 'Browser' Tab The 'Browser' tab contains the most significant yet simple options related to PowerPoint's web use. There are basically two ways to configure your PowerPoint HTML output here - either you can opt for one of the preset browser profiles or choose to create your own profile from the four options below the browser drop down box. First let's look at the browser profiles. These include: Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, Netscape Navigator 3.0, or later Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape Navigator 4.0, or later Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later You'll find Netscape 6.0 conspicious by its absence! Coming back to our subject of browser profiles, you'll find that a few of the four options below get automatically selected or deselected depending upon the browser profile you choose. Let's take a closer look at these four options: Allow PNG as a graphic format: PNG is a not-so-new graphic format which has not yet replaced Compuserve's GIF format at the browser level. Yet, newer browsers do support PNG at a basic level. Only the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 profile auto- enables this option. If you are fairly confident that your intended audience can view PNG, you can choose this option - otherwise leave it unchecked.
