Saving as HTML

If you save a PowerPoint file as HTML, the presentation can be viewed through a Web browser, and the user does not need to have PowerPoint software or the PowerPoint viewer.

The slides are displayed with a clickable menu of slide titles on the left hand side.

Audio is preserved when a presentation is saved as html, but transitions and animation are not.

To save a PowerPoint file as HTML:

1. From the File menu, choose Save As. The Save As dialog box appears.



2. First, type a name for the file in the File name field.
3. Select Web Page (.htm) from the Format drop-down menu.
4. Click Save.

In the directory where you saved the files, you will see an HTML file with the name you have typed (the index page for the presentation), and a file folder containing all of the HTML files that make up the presentation.

To open the presentation in a browser, create a link to the index file. If you move the presentation to a Web server, make sure you load both the index page and the folder of HTML files.
