Hope someone can help me with this one. I have a powerpoint
presentation that I have saved as a web page. But I can'd seem to get a
"home" or back to the original page link on there. I have checked the
settings and they seem to be in order. Is it possible some part of the
program wasn't installed? Does anyone know a way around
this?..thanks...deb

Hi Debbie,

It's the nature of HTML pages that they are stateless so they do not have
any knowledge of what page you were on previously. The browser keeps track
of that information, but the actual web page does not.

You should use the "Back" button on the browser if you want to navigate
away from the presentation to the web page you were on prior to linking to
the presentation.

If you know what page you will always be linking from, you can certainly
insert a hyperlink to that page inside the presentation but you would not
be going "back" to that page but, instead, going "forward" to a page that
just happens to have been browsed before.
