Mac 2004 Powerpoint to web - hyperlinks

[ellensentertainment]

Hello.

My husband has created the website he wants, but he has used PowerPoint to create it. I'm trying to export his site to the web for him.

I select "save as web page" and save the files to a folder. Then, I open the file. The first page of his site opens appropriately, and it looks good. The problem is the links don't function properly. When I click any hyperlink on any page, the site advances to a page that is the next sequential slide in the presentation, not to the appropriate link. I've tried it out in two browsers, duplicating the problem. From within PowerPoint, his links work fine, but as a website, I can;t get them to work.

Any help?

FWIW, PowerPoint isn't a bad way to put PPT presentations up as *part* of a web
site, but generally not a good way to create the site overall.

But can you post the result somewhere so we can have a look?
