How do you get a PP show to play automatically inside the site?

I have recently undertaken to do some PP work (for my church) and so I am a
learner so far as it (PP) is concerned.

But I did find that there is a entry in the File menu
Save as Web Page

This creates a high level HTML page and a subfolder with the same name
suffixed by "_files" which contains the rest of the code

It displays more or less OK as a web page, so the HTML page and its
subfolder can be copied into your website. (There is even a option to
publish it directly)

The reason I wrote "more or less" are that repeated blanks and some symbols
e.g, ' ... display (on the website but not locally) as an unrecognisable
character - a square.

If there aren't too many of these they can be edited out, but I would be
interested to know why this occurs

The squares are due to page encoding, for example saving the page as
Windows 1252 and displaying it as UTF-8. Adding the appropriate <meta>
tag to each slide page, or re-saving each page with the correct encoding
should cure the problem.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/symbols/ for more details.

Ron and Stefan

Thanks to both of you

My pages now work OK if I use the option in PPT to encode to utf-8.

This must imply that my server adds this metatag:
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

I find that my HTML reads
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>Â </span>
where the characters between > and < are HEX C2 A0 20

This displays as blank using utf-8

Oh well, if it works, use it !
