Why do my slides saved as a web page print so small from a IE6 window, but print beautifully from PP

PPT version: 2003, WinXP, Internet Explorer 6.0
I've created a presentation for viewing in Internet Explorer 6.0 by using
PPT's Save as Web Page command. This presentation requires the use of a lot
of small text - some as small as 8pts.The slides scale to the size of the
browser window, look great when viewed in the browser, and when printed from
within PPT.
Unfortunately users need to print these slides when viewed in a browser
window. These printouts are in portrait layout, very small, and difficult to
read. When I force pages to print landscape layout from within IE's Print
dialog, the page prints the same size as when printing portrait layout.
Is anyone familiar with this situation and how to get (save as web page)
slide printouts from within a browser window that resemble the full-page
landscape printouts when slides are printed from within PPT? Thanks in
advance.

Hi, Bob !!

1. Upload your .ppt file to the server.
2. Place a PRINT hyperlink or button in one of the HTML pages...

<a href="#" onclick="window.print();return false;">Print</a>

or,

<form><input type="button" value=" Print"
onclick="window.print();return false;" /></form>

3. Insert this tag within the <HEAD> section of the source code of that page
:

<LINK rel=alternate media=print href="mypres.ppt">
<!-- This is the format to send to the printer -->


What this does is that when the visitor clicks on the PRINT link or button,
the document referenced in the <LINK> tag will be the one downloaded and
printed, it won't print the present page.

Cheers,

Gus
