As previously shown, you can save your PowerPoint 2000 files as Web pages. The Web Options... button in the top section gives more flexibility in how the presentation is designed.

Adding Slide Navigation controls will create an outline as part of the online presentation, allowing you to click on hyperlinked text to go to different slides. (You can also choose the colors for this presentation.) You can also turn on and off slide transition animations. Best of all, you no longer have to guess what screen resolution your audience is using. The "Resize Graphics to Fit Browser Window" option takes care of that for you. |

If you have a lot of graphics or outside files included with the presentation, creating a folder to hold these support files will make transferring any files easier. The name of the folder will be the same as the name of the original presentation. You can turn off the option of long file names if your Web server does not support them. You can also have PowerPoint update the links when you save the file. It is also recommended you check the last box, as this enables you to open the HTML presentation back into PowerPoint. |

If you have an audience that might use older browsers, you may wish to leave the top two options off. VML (Vector Markup Language) is a VERY new method for describing graphics in text format. Also very new technology is PNG, (Portable Network Graphics) which allow smaller-sized graphics with more colors. These only work with the latest browsers. (IE 5.0 or later) The Target Monitor option is not necessary if you turned on the "Resize Graphics to Fit Browser Window" option above. |

The encoding section works for modifying the presentation for browsers using other languages. |
