Saving as Web Page

[Ronald Ottinger]

I am using Powerpoint 2002 on Windows XP, and I'm not a
programmer.

I have been given a Powerpoint file that management wants
posted on our web site. Publishing the file is not a
problem; it all works fine. However, when the Powerpoint
file was created, they didn't use placeholders at all, so
there is *NO* text for the Outline frame to link to. The
outline can be toggled off by the user so that it is not
seen, but what I want to do is change the default so that
the Outline frame is not displayed at the start.

I know I can start the presentation in full page (which
gets around this problem), but there's some other
navigation and outlines that they want to use to direct
users to specific parts of the presentation. I also know
that the Outline can be toggled to either display or hide
by clicking the button, but that would be an extra step I
would like to avoid for the user.

Is there some way to manually change the toggle on the
outline display so that it starts off *NOT* being
displayed? If so, where would I do that? I am assuming
that it might be in "outline.htm" or in "script.js" from
what I can see, but remember I'm not a programmer.

Any and all assistance is gratefully appreciated! Thanks!

I could be mistaken (no .... really!) but I think the outline view and the
nav controls go hand in hand.
Can't have one w/o the other.

Yep. Seems odd to me too. ;-)

Have a look at http://www.pptools.com -- our PPT2HTML addin would allow you
to do this quite easily. There's a free demo at that site.
