How do I...?

Save my PowerPoint Presentation for the Web, and place it on my web site?

1. Start PowerPoint.

2. Open your PowerPoint presentation. For the sake of this example, let’s say your presentation is called math13.ppt.  When naming your presentation, it is best to avoid spaces in the file name.

3. Choose File > Save as a Web Page…

4. You will be prompted for a save location. For our example, let’s choose the desktop.

5. PowerPoint will save a file on the desktop called "math13.htm" and it will also save a folder full of files on the desktop called "math13_files." This folder contains web versions of the slides, artwork, and any other components used in your presentation.

6. Close PowerPoint.

7. Start FrontPage.

8. Open your web (i.e., File > Open Web > then type the URL in the folder name box).

9. After you have authenticated on the network and your web is open, choose File > Import

10. When the Import dialog box comes up, click the Add File button in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog box.

11. In the “Add File to Import List” dialog box, Navigate to and choose the file math13.htm and click OK. The file will be imported into your web.

12. Choose File > Import again. This time click the “Add Folder” button (just below the Add File button).

13. In the “File Open” dialog box, navigate to the desktop and click once on the folder math13_files to select it, then click “Open.”

14. Click OK on the File Import dialog box. The folder and all its files will be imported into your web. There is no need to create a folder separately, FrontPage will do it for you!

15. That's it.  When linking to your presentation, link to the file math13.htm It is an index, which will load the rest of the presentation.
