Power Pt - to Front page

N

npalex

I have created several pages/slides in power point. Saved as HTML with the
expectation I could then open in Front Page 2003. The result is these files
open as PPT - What is the procedure to import into FP, and the edit and make
changes in FP going forward?

There's actually a setting in the FrontPage options to control this. I
forget the exact location as I don't have FP installed on this computer, but
there's a checkbox for opening html (or was it office) files in the
application that created them. Unchecking this will let FP open them instead
of passing them on to Excel or Powerpoint.

Mark,
Thanks for quick response, and the solution sounds easy, but I can not find
any reference to "Options" that will permit me to load into FP. I have
saved the PPT presentation as HTML thinking that should do it, but it
continues to be .ppt file.
Anything further you can do to help will be appreciated.

Tools Options General
- select Check if Office is the default editor for pages created in Office

But when you are creating html from PPT and importing it (and the folder w/ relate files) in to FP,
- FP will hide all related PPT html files as a "cluster" so you won't be able to edit them

In PPT there is an Option when you save as Html to Not put related files in a separate folder
- use that if you need to edit any of the related files
