Save as web page

[Steven]

When I use the "save as web page" option in Excel, it's trivial to save a
single chart as its own page. When I update the chart, I just select "save
as web page" and click on Republish. Nothing easier.

I'm trying to do the same thing with PowerPoint, and it's not working. The
"save as web page" main option stores every slide in one honking huge file.
The Publish option lets me select a single chart, but I have to reset it
manually every time if I have separate slides selected within one
presentation.

Questions:

1. Is there any easy way to save a single slide as a web page, such that it
will save update easily without reentering file data?

2. Is there a way to set up single-slide files that link to the main file's
slides, as a way of getting around this? It'd be easy to get the
single-slide files to save as web pages the way I want.

Glenna, thanks for the link.

I've tried this twice, but it comes out as a blank page each time. Also,
note that my source file has over thirty slides, and Taj's method does not
allow me to select a slide out of the lot.

When saving the web page, you can change the publishing options to be a
single slide.

Click, File, Save As Web Page, Publish
Change Complete Presentation to Slide number X through X

Again, thank you, Glenna, but as stated in my original post, it's a pain to
track where each individual page occurs within the file, and to reset the
defaults every time I save a slide - the defaults attach to the file and not
to each individual slide as is done in Excel. I'm looking to save five
slides to web pages and am hoping to delegate that task once I get it set up.
In other words, the simpler the better.
