When you publish a presentation to the Web you actually specify a location on your intranet or on the Internet to save the file to where others can access it. PowerPoint allows you to make several settings when you publish a presentation, including choosing which slides to publish and which browsers you think most of your viewers will use to run the presentation.
With the Publish as Web Page dialog box open (see next task, steps 1 through 5) choose one of the following:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Or Later if most people viewing your presentation are using this version of Internet Explorer only.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, Netscape Navigator 3.0, Or Later if you expect a mix of people using the two most popular browsers to view your presentation.
Selecting All Browsers Listed Above creates a larger file, but this is the best choice if you’re not really sure which browsers your viewers will be using.
Click Publish to publish the file. If you have clicked the Open Published Web Page In Browser check box, a preview appears.
Click the Close button in your browser to close the preview.
If your browser is set up to block ActiveX scripts, you may not have full access to various navigation tools in the Web page preview. Disable this setting or if a message appears that allows you to make choices about blocking these scripts, click on it and choose to allow blocked scripts.
If you preview your Web page, use the navigation tools along the bottom of the browser window to expand the presentation outline, or move from slide to slide. If you want to go into full screen slide show mode, click the Slide Show button in the lower right corner. Press Escape to close the full screen mode.
Click the Save As Type field and choose Web Page or Single File Web Page.
Click an option to specify what to publish:
Select Complete Presentation to publish all slides.
Select Slide Number and enter a beginning and ending slide number to select a subset of slides to publish.
Select Display Speaker Notes if you want to include notes with the slides you publish.
Enter a location to publish the file to in the File Name field.
Click Publish. If you have clicked the Open Published Web Page In Browser check box, a preview appears.
