Saving Presentations as HTML

Publishing as a Web Page

One of the biggest changes to PowerPoint 2000 involves how you save your presentations to use on the Web. The File|Save as Web Page... menu will help you set up your presentation. Clicking on the Publish button lets you set the options for how your online presentation is designed.

Although there is no Wizard for saving your presentations, you have greater control over how files are saved. Take a look at the above picture for reference.

	Publish What? - You can choose any or all of the slides to publish the presentation, including displaying any speaker notes. Note the Web Options button in this section. This allows you to make adjustments to the presentation, which will be discussed in the <next section>.
	Browser Support - You can adjust the support based on the Web browser your audience might be using. As UIC is a primarily Netscape campus, the recommendation is to use the second option: "Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later." The third option, "All browsers listed above," contains a dual-HTML feature that selects the correct browser for you, avoiding the need for determining the audience. However, this creates a much larger file.
	Publish a Copy As - This allows you to change the title of the presentation, which would show up in the title bar of your browser. You can also choose the name of the file and its location.
