    Hi,

    PowerPoint 2010 offers new support for viewing presentations directly within web browsers. This helps provide a consistent experience for viewing presentations and enables the display of features such as animations and transitions.

    You can save presentations as an .htm file or as a .mht file through the PowerPoint object model. This provides compatibility with older add-ins and macros.

     

    To save a file as a webpage (*.htm;*.html) to the desktop by using the ppSaveAsHTML argument for the *.htm file format, without embedding true type fonts (msoFalse), follow these steps:

    • Open the presentation that you want to export to HTML.
    • Press ALT+F11.
    • Press CTRL+G.
    • In the Immediate window type the following: ActivePresentation.SaveAs "<Drive>:\users\<username>\desktop\<filename>.htm", ppSaveAsHTML, msoFalse
    • Press ENTER.

    Note To save as a Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml) file format, replace html at the end of the file name with mht, and replace ppSaveAsHTML with ppSaveAsWebArchive.

     

    Hope it helps.

    C'mon Microsoft...Some of us are not geeks...we just know how to use PowerPoint and use it often.  This change makes no sense at all and your directions on how to save as a webpage are no help either. Why would you change a perfectly simple options to this complex hodgepodge of entries.  I'm a 72 year old professional speaker and have used PowerPoint since it came out. I know what I'm doing but am not a computer expert.  Make it simple....please!!!

    You can also do it using oomfo's "Export to Web page" option - see http://blog.oomfo.com/2011/05/export-powerpoint-slides-as-web-pages/

    I do agree !

    It is possible to make more difficult to get an html page ?

    It is possible to make more stupid to cancel this option which is one of the most usefull nowadays ?

    Hello Microsoft, we are in the 21st century...and publishing on the internet is not an option...

    :-(

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work with 2010 edition...

    Actually it does work for the 2010 edition. Lucky for me I am a little tech savvy, which was interesting to me they used microsoft framework visual basic which seems like a long "work-around" for a process that could have been created as an add-on to the powerpoint program (just like in previous versions), nevertheless the language was actually clear to me. Just a few things to note:

     

    To save a file as a webpage (*.htm;*.html) to the desktop by using the ppSaveAsHTML argument for the *.htm file format, without embedding true type fonts (msoFalse), follow these steps: (IGNORE THIS LINGO IF NOT TECHY)

     

    FOLLOW THESE STEPS IN EXACT ORDER

    • Open the presentation that you want to export to HTML.
    • Press ALT+F11. (A SIDE PROGRAM WILL OPEN CALLED VISUAL BASIC)
    • Press CTRL+G. (A TEXT BOX WILL APPEAR AT THE BOTTOM CALLED "IMMEDIATE")(THIS WINDOW CONSIDER IT LIKE A SAVE AS WINDOW AND YOU ARE TELLING IT WHERE TO GO)
    • In the Immediate window type the following: ActivePresentation.SaveAs "<Drive>:\users\<username>\desktop\<filename>.htm", ppSaveAsHTML, msoFalse (I COPIED AND PASTED THIS ROOT LOCATION SO WHEN YOU PASTE THE FILE INTO THE WINDOW IT WILL SAY  ActivePresentation.SaveAs "<Drive>:\users\<username>\desktop\<filename>.htm THAT IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE ROOT DIRECTORY) (AT THIS POINT THE TEXT IN THE "<>" BRACKETS SUCH AS "<DRIVE>" SHOULD BE RENAMED TO THE FOLLOWING:

    <DRIVE> = LOCATION OF HARD DRIVE. FOR ME IT WAS THE "C:" DRIVE

    <USERNAME>= THE NAME OF USER YOU ARE LOGGED ONTO. (THIS CAN BE FOUND BY GOING TO "MY COMPUTER" CLICKING YOUR "HARD DRIVE" THEN CLICKING "USERS" THE NAME IN WHICH YOU ARE LOGGED UNDER SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST WITH POSSIBLY A PADLOCK ON IT (ONLY IF YOU REQUIRE A PASSWORD TO LOG INTO YOUR COMPUTER) IT MUST BE TYPED EXACTLY AS THE FOLDER SPELLS IT OUT AS (EX: IF THE FOLDER SAYS "JOHN DOE" WITH THE SPACE BETWEEN YOU HAVE TO SPELL IT "JOHN DOE" WITH THE SPACE BETWEEN)

    <FILENAME>=THIS IS STANDARD AS IF YOU WERE USING THE "SAVE AS" COMMAND... NAME YOUR FILE. FOR ME I KEPT IT SIMPLE AND JUST PUT IN "WEB PAGE".

    *** REMOVE THE BRACKETS*** THE "<" AND THE ">" DO NOT BELONG IN THE TYPED TEXT.

    • Press ENTER. (IF YOU DID EVERYTHING RIGHT THERE SHOULD BE A FILE ON YOUR DESKTOP, THAT IS YOUR PPT AS AN HTML)

    Note To save as a Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml) file format, replace html at the end of the file name with mht, and replace ppSaveAsHTML with ppSaveAsWebArchive.

     

     

    WITH THAT SAID GOOD LUCK!!!

    Keep in mind that this process is unlike previous versions of PowerPoint where files in this manner can be published easily to the web, the process makes it more difficult when uploading it to an external server, thus almost preventing it from going on the internet. What I can say though is that in a P2P environment when sharing this form across an intranet, not the internet, the only use it will have is that the presentation can be viewed by internet explorer only and cannot be edited.

    There are easier ways than this for most uses.  Click File, choose "Save & Send" and then click the option to Save to the Web.  The Broadcast Slideshow is also very handy, which lets you broadcast a live video feed to anyone in the world.

    Thank you for this.

    I was wondering if you also knew how to set some options while saving as .htm ... I used to be able to provide access to the NOTES sectin of each slide.

     

    Can this still be done also?

    Thanks alot.

    I wonder if we could ever get the name of the MSFT manager who made the final descision on this one?  I hope that, that manager's position has been cut.  Here we are out here flogging away in the fast paced IT industry and MSFT themselves trips us up like this?  Now I have to fall back to VBScripting IDE and learn how to enter an application level command just to save it as HTML.  On top of that it's a regression from what was supported before.

     

    This is just plain dumb and a black eye for MSFT mgmnt.  How long does it take to have a Save to HTML option which calls the Application API internally.  Uploading to SKYDRIVE is just ridiculous.
