How do I get rid of black bacground in web version of presentation

J

JoeB

Good afternoon Michael,

You've been very helpful in moving me along in this challenge. My first
efforts were to utilize the code that you provided in the pptohtml
presentation. Adding the function FullScreen2 to script.js. was easy.
However, in the HTML files that were created from my ppt presentation there
was NO file "outline.htm." The only file in the folder created that contained
the "load" function was frame.htm; and the code there was quite different
than what is/was contained in outline.htm, as follows:

function Load() {
str=unescape(document.location.hash),idx=str.indexOf('#')
if(idx>=0) str=str.substr(1);
if(!str) str = "slide0020.htm";

if (MHTMLPrefix != "")
{
str = RemoveFilePrefixFromHref(str);
PPTSld.location.replace(MHTMLPrefix+escape(str));
}
else
{
PPTSld.location.replace(str);
}
}

That is what led me to continue this long dialogue, and that is why I
interpreted your request for the files as a request to provide the htm, xml,
etc files thate were produced by MS in the Save to Web Page stage. I noticed
that a few weeks ago, you helped another "poster" PaigeTurner with a similar
problem. I don't know the version of PowerPoint of this poster was using, but
I'm using PowerPoint 2003. I've tried just about every permutation of Save to
Web Page to see if it ever produced an outline.htm file. It has not thus far.

Right now, I've gone through the code of various files produced. I'm
utilizing filelist.xml to see what is accessed and in what sequence. This
then led me to the file pres.xml which I'm currently attempting to decode.

If I hit paydirt, I'll pass on the solution. You're one of the "good guys,"
and one final time I thank you!

Sonia's suggestion works as advertised for linked sounds and movies. Not
needed if the sound is included as I suggested. you can go back and forth
all day with no problem. The on line pptohtml presentation that I have
referenced a number of times was built the way I suggested you build yours.
And will view full screen at what ever resolution monitor you view it on.The
screen resolution for it is 800x600

| Thanks for the suggestions. RE: Attaching the sound files as an effect in
a
| custom animation for some object that appears when the slide does. RE: the
| blank slides and hidden slides. I included those just in case a viewer
wanted
| to replay a slide with narrative and custom animation. Preceding a content
| slide with a blank slide with 0 seconds slide transition was an idea I got
| from a year old post by Sonia Coleman. The hidden slides are "clones" of
the
| immediately preceding content slides, respectively in case a viewer just
| wanted to see the slide's contents without animation or narrative.
|
| From viewing this presentation on various PCs with different
configurations,
| I realize that I'm probably too ambitious. Cutting down on the number of
| slides would seriously reduce the size of the presentation and
corresponding
| HTML version, and, thus, reduce the complexity of Microsoft's HTML code.
It's
| time for some "deconstruction."
|
| However, I imagine that it will be necessary for me to slog through Mister
| Softie's code. Hmmm. I always wanted to learn Javascript anyway!!
|
| Thank you once more for hanging with me, and for your excellent
suggestions.

I explained why there was no outline.htm in your presentation a couple of
posts back. Once I received your presentation I ran it through the save as
a web page process, and it works just fine from my end.
