Save as Web Page

[Mel Kowal]

Using PPT 2002, when a presentation named filename is saved as "Save
as Web Page", the created folder (filename_files)contains duplicate
image files with the same filename but one has the suffix .gif and the
other has the suffix.jpg. How come both are created and are they both
necessary? May one of them be deleted? Further, a "Index.htm" file is
not created. It is my understanding that to publish a web site using
Front Page, an "Index.htm" file is required to serve as the first page
of any web site. If so, which of the created files can be renamed as
"Index.htm?"
Thanks, Mel

They may be there to support multiple browsers. Different Save As Web Page
settings may make a difference. Worst case, try deleting one or the other and
see what happens.

You really don't want to think of PowerPoint as a way of creating web sites;
it's a way of producing HTML that can be included in a site that you create
with some other program. FrontPage for example.

Link from an existing or a new page TO the main html file you created in PPT
instead.
