Problem with PowerPoint Presentation On Web

[WCDoan]

I have a presentation I've created, I've saved as web pages (htm), and have
uploaded to the web site. I'm using 2003. The presentation plays, but none
of the effects work. It just displays the slides one at a time with a blank
white screen between them. Also, the first and last slide have music, but
the music doesn't play. I'm new to this so any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

I'm in agreement with Steve's comments. If it were my presentation I would ditch
all effects other than maybe have the paragraphs and sub paragraphs appear one
after another rather way you have it now. You have to realize that your timings
can go askew because of the time it takes to download to the viewers console.
PowerPoint doesn't wait. It is following the timings you have set but depending
on how and the speed which it is being downloaded, they can appear/disappear
quicker than expected.

With a presentation of this size, I personally would let the viewer travel
through it at his/her own pace, with maybe a button with next and previous
slide. I could not get the sound to play for me.

You might look here for two things, the sound, and opening your presentation up
full screen. http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00428.htm

Thanks Steve. I guess it would help if I turned on my speakers. Sounded OK this
time.

With a presentation of this size, I personally would let the viewer travel
through it at his/her own pace, with maybe a button with next and previous
slide. I could not get the sound to play for me.

FWIW, the sound worked here, but it takes a while to start (just as you say,
there's that download time issue)
