How to eliminate left navigational column in HTML format?

[Guest]

I have Powerpoint 2000 SP-3. When I try to convert my Powerpoint presentation
to HTML using the option of "Save as Web Page"/"Publish" and follow this
process:
1. Deselect "Display Speaker Notes"
2. Going into "Web options" and:
3. Deselect "Add slide navigation controls"
4. "OK"
5. "Publish"

I get my HTML file that when it is previewed in a Browser still displays the
left hand part of power point to navigate through the different slides. Do
you know how can I make this dissapear?
Please help me out,
Thanks,
EK

Thank you Kathy for your response. Your third link was specially useful in my
case since the HTML code generated in my case had the following instructions:
function Load()
{
str=document.location.hash,idx=str.indexOf('#')
if(idx>=0) str=str.substr(1);
if(str) PPTSld.location.replace(str);
}

Nonetheless, since I am hiding all the navigation controls, when I try to go
to the next slide, the presentation stays static. Do you know if I should add
some extra coding so that some nevigation arrows will display in this
presentation or it will respond to the "return/enter" key?

Thanks again for your prompt response,

EK

Try adding navigation controls in PowerPoint itself. They should stay "live" in
the HTML version.

Any shape in PPT can have an action setting assigned to it; for example, draw a
rectangle then rightclick it and choose Action Settings. Give it a Next Slide action
setting. In slide show view or in exported HTML, clicking the rectangle will take you
to the next slide.

Instead of rectangles, you can use PowerPoint's action buttons (available from the
drawing toolbar) -- same general idea but they have action settings assigned by
default. Saves a bit of time.

If you put these on the slide master instead of on individual slides, they'll appear
(and be active) on any slide based on the master (which is to say you only have to add
them once instead of on every slide). Saves even more time.

Thank you Steve. This worked. Just a last question: is it possible to have
this presentation with "common actions" performed? I mean, usually when I
have seen PPT presentation displayed as HTML, when you hit the "Enter" key or
the "Page up" Page Down" keys, the presentation will advance or go back?

Thanks again,

I don't think so. In effect, removing the navigation controls is like creating a
Kiosk mode presentation in PPT ... PPT agrees not to mess with your navigation
scheme, you agree not to require its navigation tools.

If you have access to a tame javascript wizard, they might be able to implement
some kind of mod to the HTML that gives you common keystroke actions, but
otherwise, I don't know how.
