Working with Online Presentations

Once a presentation is saved as a web page, it is viewed through a web browser. Depending on the browser that you use, there will be some differences in viewing the presentation.

return to topOpening the Presentation in a Browser

After you have saved your presentation as a web page, you must then open it in a browser.
NOTES:
Internet Explorer is recommended as the browser of choice since Netscape may not be able to show your online presentation properly. Since you created the online presentation in a Microsoft application (PowerPoint), viewing it in another Microsoft application (Internet Explorer) would provide the highest compatibility.
