Troubleshooting

Single File Web Page Option Doesn't Work on the Latest Netscape Version

I published my presentation as a Single File Web Page. I know it isn't supported on earlier versions of Netscape, but it also can't be viewed on the most recent release. How can I make this format work?

The Single File Web Page option is only supported by Internet Explorer version 4.0 and higher. It contains Microsoft-specific metadata that will only be supported by those browser types.

Your only options for Netscape compatible PowerPoint content is either by saving the presentation as a Netscape compatible file (don't save as single file) or having PowerPoint save the screens as graphic files and calling the content from a Web page developed for this purpose. You can also cut and paste content from a PowerPoint presentation and save it directly into your Web pages as desired.

PowerPoint Content Is Damaged

I made a simple edit to some HTML content created by PowerPoint. The PowerPoint slides now don't present as required through the HTML interface. How can I fix this?

HTML content created by PowerPoint contains a significant amount of XML data that enables PowerPoint to further edit the content if needed. If this content was deleted or altered, the results could be less than desirable. Your best bet is to resave the PowerPoint file as HTML and redo the edits, being careful to not touch the additional XML metadata.
