Back up a bit and explain what you've put up there on the web and how you got it
there. And if there's a publically visible URL, post that here too.

The PPT converted my presentation to HTMLand then I ran "web page preview"
which means that it is opening in my browser, however, when I copy the URL
and paste into web search(MSN) that's when I get "cannot find page"
and"cannot display page"....here is the URL...thanks for helping me....
:C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local
Settings\Temp\PowerPointWebPagePreview\Is there a God web page_files\frame.htm

Ah. Thanks for the extra info.

When you save as HTML from PowerPoint, it puts the various files on your hard drive
but doesn't upload them to a web server. Since they're only on your drive, they're
only accessible to you.

To make them available to the rest of us out here on the WWW, you need to upload the
necessary files to a web server.

This explains the basics:

Put your PowerPoint-generated HTML on the web

You'll probably need to get more information about where to upload the files from
your ISP or web administrator.

I have found out why I'm having all these probles, first, MSN does noy allow
more than 1MB upload at a time (I was trying upload 5MB PPT), also, you
cannot have more that 5MB in any one file...you only have 3MB of storage
unless you upgrade to 30MB...hopes this helps somebody else, Oh, you need a
website to upload to also....it just does'nt automatically pop onto the web
when you open on your own computer although it looks like it....then you
think all you have to do is copy and paste URL, and all that does is bring it
up from your own c://drive..it's tricky and had me fooled....LOTS OF LOVE
-GOD BLESS
