What
about the World Wide Web? We all know how that's exploded.
Can you convert presentations to the Web? |  |
 |
Yes,
and I can't think of a better way to have your
presentation reach people all over the world. Instead of
presenting to people in a room, you can dazzle viewers
around the world from Brazil to Tokyo!
|
|
 |
But
is it easy to do? People want easy. |
|
Oh,
it's a snap! Just like I have an AutoContent Wizard, I
also have an Internet Assistant Wizard. She makes creating
Web pages as easy as waving a wand. |
|
Well
Hocus Pocus Dominocus! Tell us how to conjure up the
Internet Assistant Wizard! |

Converting your
presentation into Web pages
Follow these steps to convert your presentation into
Internet format.
1. Open the presentation you want to convert.
2. Click the File menu, and then click
Save As HTML. The Internet Assistant Wizard will
appear.
3. Follow the steps in the Wizard.
The Wizard presents you with options for converting the
presentation:
In the dialog boxes that appear, you define the page
layout, the type of graphic files that are created (GIF,
JPEG or PowerPoint animation), and the size of graphical
images. As well, you provide information including your
e-mail address and the Home Page Address. In the Colors
and Buttons dialog box, you define page color and button
style. In the Layout Options dialog box, you indicate
where navigation buttons are placed.

Once
the Internet Assistant Wizard has converted our slides to
Web pages, I want to see what it looks like. How do I do
that? | |
|
Just
fire up my ol' buddy Internet Explorer and I'll show you
the rest. Explorer, by the way, plays saxophone in our
band sometimes. When he's not out exploring. |
|
Viewing your
presentation on your computer
1. Open the Internet Explorer 4 browser.
2. Click the File menu, then click Open.
The Open Internet dialog box will appear.
3. Click the Browse button and locate the
page with the filename index.htm.
4. Click the file to select it, then click Open.
Your Internet presentation will appear in the browser.

|
|
And
how do we get those Web pages onto the World Wide Web? |
|
For
that you'll have to work with your Internet Service
Provider. |
|
Publishing your pages on
the Web
The Web pages you create in PowerPoint do not
automatically appear on the World Wide Web (WWW). You must
make arrangements to have the pages stored on a Web
server. Only then is your presentation available to Web
users. You can usually publish your Web pages through an
Internet Service Provider (ISP). |
