When you say "FrontPage" you mean like just the home page?
I guess I'd open the PowerPoint slide full screen, take a full size screen
shot of it with my graphics program, slice it up so that any graphics would
be separated from whitespace an lay it all out in a table. If there is a
page background to the PowerPoint I'd use that as a page background and
maybe just lay the text and other graphics out in a table over it.

The PowerPoint newsgroup would be an excellent place to ask the question.
It's discussed there quite often.

How about saving a PowerPoint slide/presentaion as a WEB page and then
editing it?

Haven't tried it but you can save PP as a web page, I imaging you can edit
those files once converted.

Just tried it and it does work, although you would probably have a lot of cleaning up to do...probably just as easy to start from scratch with FP using PPT as a guide. The pages I tried were turned into frames...looked good but....

I wonder if you can apply the PP 'themes' (the screen designs) to a Frontpage
web - that'd be ideal, because that's all you really want isn't it.

Probably you can't - I don't know if that functionality works across Office
applications like that - same with Outlook Expresses' "stationery" (backgrounds
and so on) - that is not compatible with Frontpage (even using the backgrounds).

Surely some how the backgrounds can be implemented, even if you lose the
'animation' effects of some of those backgrounds (I rarely use PP so I can
remember what it has but the b/grounds are animated in some respect - some of
them anyway.).

Welp, I tellya...my sister sent me a pp that she used as a scratch-sheet for me to design a web for her. (of course my webdesign went FAR astray from her ideas but).. I didn't think to convert it to html until this thread prompted me to try it. I really worked surprising well (except for it making frames - which I hate).

Dunno about the themes... I think I'll try that and see what happens :)

nope not for me!

too much work to fix and rename stuff, by the time I figured it out I could create an entire web from scratch and not have a bunch of files that i have no idea where they should go

There are certain themes included in the Word, PowerPoint and FrontPage that are include in all 3
applications.
