PowerPoint and Netscape

[JonR]

Does anyone know of a trick (or plug in) to get a PowerPoint presentation to look good in IE and Netscape?

I have Office 2000 and FP 2000. I've saved a PowerPoint 2000 presentation as a web page, and published it to the server. The presentation looks great when the 'browser support' radio buttons had IE4 (or higher) checked. When I checked, IE and Netscape - or - all browsers, the presentation doesn't look right in either IE or Netscape.

Has anyone experienced similar problems or solutions to let PowerPoint pres. function properly in Netscape?

Many thanks!

Jon

Bottom line is, Netscape (or aggravator as I call it) just is bad. I don't think it can work correctly with powerpoint. You might have to do what I've done, and make 2 versions of your site. 1 for IE, and 1 for netscape. I have a good, clean, small javascipt code that redirects the person to a page depending on what browser they're using. Let me know ~Javrix

Thanks, Javrix. I thought about the two versions as well.

Since each slide in my presentation is just a picture and caption, I may just create a separate HTML page for each slide and have left and right navigation buttons to make it look like a PowerPoint presentation.

Hi. Here's a presentation that someone else put up on internet made out of a powerpoint presentation. I only use IE so I only see it that way but i've been TOLD that it looks ok in both.

Jon, I had the same trouble with Netscape. IE worked great for PowerPoint but Netscape totally messed with the slides... My work around was making available the PowerPoint Viewer which is a small download. I've started putting beginning computer lessons in PowerPoint on my site so I can usually get my clients that are interested to download the viewer and the file. I doubt that casual surfers will bother though. But in my case it works.
