Powerpoint web page not work 'on the web'

[Erbium]

Hi everyone

I have a powerpoint slide show with 56 slides. I exported it to 'web page' by 'save as'.

This shows an index of your slides on left of web frame, and the slide picture in the middle. Works great! and the slide show feature also works.

However I wanted to share this with the world (something nicer than 'hello world' . I FTP this up to my website, clicked on it and it starts the web window frame css. Text shows but all the jpegs and .pngs show as 'x'. If I click on slides show icon on bottom right, same thing but full screen.

Any ideas? I also tried taking the first slide slide0001.htm and hardwiring the path for all the .jpegs and .png's to the actual path on the website, no change.

Trying to view properties of missing picture 'x' shows property of the frameset web page instead.

Sounds like perhaps when you saved your project as a web page, PowerPoint saved the images in a folder. You need to copy that same folder out to your web server, in the same location as the web page.

Yes, powerpoint creates a web page save in a new folder. I copied the entire folder, and I can see the jpegs and png's, the same ones in the presentation up on the website, so that shouldn't be the problem.

and it creates a start page one level down. copied that too.

Could this somehow be a problem that the web server is a linux shared host? and that at home is on windoze? I can't imagin why as the web server should serve up pages regardless. There is some javascript generated by powerpoint but again, this runs on the PC so shouldn't make a dif.

One more thing: I checked the web server logs and it gives 404 errors (file missing) for '../notes_flag.gif' and '../embed'.

I swear I copied the whole folder up there but I'll check when I get home, see if that fixes it.

I got it working!

but only on a different web site I have that is windoze hosted. I can't think of any dif except file name upper and lower case is not the same on linux as it is on windoze file system.

Thanks for your suggestions!

That is strange. I wouldn't think it would matter for a simple page like that. Oh well, regardless, at least it's working. :0)
