Import a PowerPoint Presentation into a FrontPage 2003 Web

To import a PowerPoint presentation into a FrontPage Web, follow these steps:

  1. Start PowerPoint and open your presentation.
  2. On the File menu, click Save as Web Page, and then click Save.
    PowerPoint creates a folder to contain all the files that are associated with your presentation. This folder is created in the same location as your PowerPoint presentation. If your presentation is saved as Presentation1.ppt, the new folder is named Presentation1_files.
  3. Close your PowerPoint presentation and then quit PowerPoint.
  4. Start FrontPage, and then open the Website where you want to import the PowerPoint presentation.
  5. Open the Web page where you want to link your PowerPoint presentation.
  6. On the File menu, click Import.
  7. In the Import dialog box, click Add Folder.
  8. In the File Open dialog box, click the folder that was created in step 2 when you saved your presentation as a Web page, and then click Open.

  9. In the Import dialog box, click OK.

    Note– Depending on the size of your presentation, the dialog box may take several minutes to close.

  10. Click the plus sign (+) next to the new folder in your Folder List, and then drag one of the following files onto your open Web page:
    • Frame.htm
      -or-
    • Fullscreen.htm
  11. On the File menu, click Save.
  12. On the File menu, click Preview in Browser.

  13. Click the hyperlink that you just created. You can now view the presentation.

    Note– If you drag the Frame.htm file into the Website, the presentation appears as a split screen in the browser. The left pane displays thumbnails of all the slides, and the right pane displays one full-sized slide at a time. Click one time on the slide in the right pane to advance to the next, or click any particular slide in the left pane to view that particular slide.

    If you drag the Fullscreen.html file into the Website, the presentation appears as the full-screen version. You can advance the slide by clicking the slide, or the slide automatically advances.

    Note– To change the text of the hyperlink, continue with the following steps:

    1. Right-click the hyperlink, and then click Hyperlink Properties.
    2. In the Edit Hyperlink dialog box, edit the text in the Text to display box so that it displays the text that you want.
    3. Save your changes, and then preview the results.
