Text becomes Jagged when file is saved as a web page

[geometryfrog]

The following happens when I save my ppt slides as a web page:
On some ppt slides the font becomes jagged for all text... On other slides
the font is perfect... And on some slides just random text is jagged. Also,
when the text becomes jagged, it looks like the text has been formatted to be
bold (and it is not).

I'm using PPT2002 that came with Office XP Professional.

This is because some text is saved as images. Unless otherwise
specified images aresaved as JPor GIF, resulting in jaggering of text
in the process.

When saving as web page, go to "web options/browesers" and tick the
option "Allow PNG". This is suppoted only on IE6+, but gives sharp
defined text.

 

[geometryfrog]

Unfortunately that didn't work. When using "web page preview", some of the
text changes to a bold looking jagged edged font (very sloppy). Any other
suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. If I have to,
I could send you an attachment of the files.

What's the difference between the perfect slides and the jagged slides?

I'm asking because ISTR Steve Rindsberg once explaining to me why saving as
web page resulted in crappy looking charts. I can't remember the details,
but I think it had to do with PPT creating images with lower bit-depth
because it didn't see anything on the slide that made it think it needed
better quality.

Personally, I'd just grab Steve's PPT2HTML utility and be done with it.

The difference is that the text in the regular slides are perfect (using
Arial Narrow) and in web page preview they sometimes look perfect but most of
the time they look jagged. I have to fix this problem.

I downloaded the demo version of Steve's PPT2HTML utility and used it. My
slides still have the same problem. I don't know if something in the
preferences would help. If the utility works, I'll order it.

No, I mean what is the difference with what's on the slides themselves? Are
the problem slides just text, whereas the okay slides have text and, oh, I
don't know, a company logo or something?

slide has shapes and 5 or 6 text boxes. Only one of the tex boxes on this
slide looks bold and jagged all other text boxes look perfect. On other

How about animations? Are the shapes or text on one slide animated, but not
on the other?

That may be the problem. This may be premature but I noticed that the
animations that said "peek in" seem to be causing the problem. I created
these slides 3-4 years ago with an older version of ppt.

Is there a way to replace all the "peek in" animations (kind of like
replacing a font for the entire presentation)?

Thanks for your help!!!

Peek in may very well be the problem. I've noticed that some animations
cause this problem much more than others. The ones that cause the most
problems are ones that bring text in and out before the text settles.

I don't know any way to replace a specific animation everywhere in a
presentation, but maybe one of the code guys knows of a way....

I was able to clear the problem on my first 3 slides. Slide 4 won't let me
fix it, regardless of the animation. The big problem is that I have 1030
slides with an average of 20 animations. There has to be a better way.

Thanks for your help.

I need some help posting a URL. It is ready to go as a web page.

Example:

presentations (1030 slides) ready for a website that my partner is creating.

selecting "web page preview" in ppt. Any recommendations? Should I attach
one via email? Thanks again for your help.
