Chapter 14: Creating Web Presentations

Overview

In this chapter you will learn to:

• Create a summary slide.

• Create a hyperlink.

• Preview and save a presentation as a Web page.

With Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, you can save a presentation as a Web page that can be viewed in a Web browser. PowerPoint provides all the tools you need to convert and display the presentation over an intranet or the Internet. The converted presentation is viewed as a single Web page with a navigation bar that provides easy access to each slide.

To maximize the usefulness of the presentation, you can create a summary slide to serve as a home page for your Web-based slide show. You can also create hyperlinks that enable viewers to move to specific slides, to other presentations, or to Web sites. Hyperlinks can also be used to display files created with other programs, such as Microsoft Office Excel worksheets, to clarify assumptions, or to support conclusions.

In this chapter, you ll create a summary slide that can be used as an agenda slide to introduce a presentation. You ll also create hyperlinks to another slide, an Excel chart, and a Web site, and you ll create an action button that enables viewers of the presentation to jump back to the agenda slide at any time. Finally, you will see how to preview a presentation as a Web page and save a Web version of the presentation.
