Publishing PowerPoint Presentations Online

This tutorial will teach you how to save a presentation created with Microsoft PowerPoint XP 2003 as a series of web pages that can be viewed online in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Before publishing your presentation, please read the Tips for Online PowerPoint Presentations tutorial for a list of things to keep in mind when designing your online presentation.

1. Use PowerPoint to create a presentation that you wish to publish. Once the presentation is complete, choose Save as Web Page... under the File menu at the top of the screen.

   

2. On the Save As dialog box that appears, click the Publish... button.

   

3. In the Publish as Web Page dialog box that appears, click the radio button next to All browsers listed above (creates larger files). Click the Web Options button to continue.

   

4. Click the Pictures tab in the Web Options dialog box that appears.

   

5. Using the Screen size: drop-down menu, choose a desired resolution for the online presentation. The majority of Union College web pages are designed to support resolutions as low as 800×600. Most modern monitors - including LCD projectors in classrooms - support resolutions of 1024×768 and beyond. For compatibility, choose 800×600. For maximum visibility, choose 1024×768. Click the OK button to return to the Publish as Web Page dialog box.

   

6. Click the Browse... button at the bottom of the dialog box. Use the browse window to choose a location for your saved web pages, and click the OK button. Verify all the selections that you have made, and click the Publish button to save your presentation as a web page.

   

Note: If you want to preview the presentation in a web browser after it is published, check the box next to Open published Web page in browser before you click the Publish button.

Upload the finished presentation as you would any other web document or file. It can be linked to as if it were any other web page.
