Is there any way to create a pp webpage so that it can be viewed with Firefox
and/or Netscape? Our pp webpage is great with IE but not everyone uses IE
and we want it to be viewable for everyone. It looks terrible with Firefox
and Netscape.
 
There is an option when you publish your presentation to choose Netscape as
one of the browsers
 
Yes, I tried that and the resulting pages were really a disaster. Most of
the page did not show up at all.

Do you need to support animations? If not, we have an add-in that allows you to
control nearly every aspect of what the resulting HTML looks like.

But first, check something out ... you mentioned that you did set the PPT HTML
options to include support for Netscape and older browsers but it looked bad in
FireFox.

See if FireFox is set to report itself as MSIE. If so, turn that off and let it
report as FireFox or Netscape. That may help.

The long story:

A lot of web pages act differently depending on what browser they "sniff".
PPT's html is very much in this class.

Because browser sniffing code is notoriously incomplete, sometimes pages will
give you a "Buzz off, this needs MSIE" message when in fact they might be usable
in FireFox or Opera. For that reason, some browsers let the user set a "Be
yourself but tell the stupid web page you're MSIE so it'll let me in" mode.

If FireFox is set to do that, it'd tell your PPT HTML pages that it's MSIE 6,
which might cause it to see different code than it would if it reported it's
Netscape.
