I am using a web browser control to display some PPT slides saved as HTML. My
client has recently asked that the background of the browser be changed to
sonething other than white so that the slides "standout".

I've tried setting the browser's BackColor setting, but that had no effect
at run time.
Also I've tried changing the back color in the PPT slides before converting
them to HTML - that works for the slide background but the space around the
slide is still white...

Any suggestions on how to control the default back color of content
displayed in a web browser control?

Try File|Save as Webpage|Publish|Web Options. Change the colors on the first
tab.

Not positive that will do what you want, but I think it does.

Thanks for the response. Your suggestion works for the navigation controls...
but in my case, all my slides are singles (each one in its own ppt file) - so
there's no navigation controls to deal with.

I'm still ISO control over the background color...
