Convert PP slide pres to editable HTML files

C

I know this from 30,000 feet, but I have to start the discussion somewhere.
Does anyone have experience with taking a PP presentation to FP as a working
web site, that is each slide becomes an editable web page? Please note that I
do not want to simply include a presentation on a web site; I want to convert
a presentation to a web site. Oh yeah, and I have no interest in doing this
manually. I know PP and FP talk to one another, but the resulting .mht
(File>Save As Web Page>Single File Web Page) is not what I want.

In addition, neither is File>Save as Web Page>Web Page, which results in a
single HTML file of the presentation's first slide and a folder that appears
to contain every single element in the presentation separated into its own
file. To boot, the HTML files in this solution do not apppear to be editable
in FP because they seem to remember that they were once PP slides, which is
the application they open in when I click on them in the FP folder/file list.

Does any of that make sense? Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

What do you mean by editable in FP? If you publish your presentation to a
web page (htm/html) each slide is laid out as slide001, slide002...which are
editable in FP or any other editor.

I guess the files don't need to be edited if the conversion results in a
1-to-1 relationship in every respect. I wonderif I can harbor that
expectation? At any rate, I have the files in a folder using the method you
mention below (they show up completely black when previewed in a browser).
None of them will open for editing in FP. A dbl-click, or right-click and
Open, opens them in PP. Can I continue to assume user error and ask if,
perhaps, I'm doing something wrong during import to FP? Thanks again for your
help.

Have you tried opening FP and using the File Open method? Makes me wonder
why you would want to edit them in FP when PowerPoint created the file. Why
not do your slide editing in PowerPoint?
