Displaying a PowerPoint® Slide Show on a Website

In addition to saving a presentation as a PowerPoint® file, there is a special option (in PowerPoint® 97 and later versions) that saves the presentation in a format suitable for a website:

Before saving the presentation as an .htm file, open the presentation in Outline View and add titles for each slide:

PowerPoint Outline View

Save the presentation as an .htm file:

PowerPoint "Save as web page"
Saving the presentation as a Web Page

The program creates a web page with frames; the left frame is a navigation bar, and the right contains the slide:

Slide Show:  Web Version
Slide Show: Web Version

The navigation frame controls the slide show. Note: this option works only with browsers that support frames.

Slide: Book of Hours

 

A PowerPoint® web slide show is a good choice if your image-management software does not provide this option.
