Online Presentations: Creating a Web Presentation

A PowerPoint web presentation is a presentation that is converted to a web page (i.e., an HTML document) and graphic files. The web page and graphic files can then be copied to a web server and accessed as a regular web page.

After you have created a presentation in PowerPoint, you have the option of saving it as a web page. By saving the presentation as a web page, you may copy it to a web server for online viewing. Web presentations are opened in internet browsers, so you do not need PowerPoint installed on your computer to view a web presentation.

NOTE: Copying files to a web server is beyond the scope of LTS Online Help Documentation. However, documentation is available for certain web publishing software titles. For more information, refer to the Web Publishing section of the LTS Online Help Collection.
