I just recently published a PowerPoint Presentation as a Web Page using
PowerPoint 2003 from Windows XP. The url is
www.pioneerstaffing.com/ppt/hiretalent.htm

It displays correctly on computers, but one of our end users, uses a laptop.
I am not sure if it has to do with his screen resolution etc. But even after
having him change this, the error still occurs. His screen resolution is
1280 x 800 running on Windows XP using IE 7.0.

Even when he views using Slide Show full screen, it still displays
incorrectly. What occurs is that the titles are positioned lower, so it
appears as if the line goes through them, text on the pie chart is displaced
etc.

When publishing the web page, I selected IE version 4.0 or higher and target
monitor of 800 x 600.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

I tried to view your webpage.

I can see the first slide - it looks ok to me.

But I also get a "This website wants to run the following add-on
"msorun.dll"... I chose not to let this install.

Clicking to view the next slide produced nothing.

Clicking to go direct to slide 19 "contact us" showed the last slide. Which
again looks OK.

What fonts did you use?

cheers

Thanks for your response.
The message with the "dll" has not be reported to me by any end user, so
that's really strange. The end user in question, can view all slides but it
just does not display correctly. He also sees slide one just fine, but none
of the others.

To answer your question, I am using Times New Roman on all pages and on
slide 14 and 19, Trebuchet MS is also utilized.

I do utilized certain features such as greyed out fields after display and
parts of charts/objects appearing one at a time...but not extremely
extravagant. Not sure if that helps.

Thanks again for your assistance.
 
I got a prompt to let IE install an ActiveX control. Maybe your user has
these completely disabled -- or maybe he missed the prompt?

Once I let IE install the ActiveX control, it works fine.
 
Hi Michael,
We have tried that as well. Changing his resolution to 800 x 600 and a
couple of others, and the problem still exists. the Titles of each page
lowered where it looks like the words are crossed out, and several other
displacements. It just seems so weird.

When you save a PPT file as a webpage, I have found they only display correctly in Internet Explorer.
Display poorly in Firefox, Safari, Opera, and probably everything else.

I use PPT 2000 and 2002. Same result.
 
Hi Tom,

I'm not really surprised. PowerPoint and IE are both Microsoft products. I
guess they would argue that they don't need to support a whole bunch of
browsers they have no control over. There are some other options listed
here, including a commercial product that produces cleaner html for web. But
I don't think it does animations.

Put your PowerPoint on the Web
