Understanding HTML export

[Rene]

Hi experts!

I'm boggled! When exporting from PPT 2000 some of the images (that are
only once in the presentation) are created multiple times with
different resolutions in the output folder. What is the reason for
this? When estimating the download times, I don't know which of the
images are actually used.

Also, I have deactivated the "use PNG" option, and still some images
are created as png. Can I force use of JPG in any way?

Thanks!
Rene

Thanks Steve for the response!

It may be a misktake to try to understand this but....

1 - No, the PNG files are definetely needed! If I delete them the web
display is incorrect. Please not I deactivated the "allow PNG"
function. It's also bizarre that the images are actually available as
JPG as well (in the output folder), but the HTML code evidently only
links to them if PNG should not work or something! See code:

<v:imagedata src="Fluorescence_Stemi_1_slide0153_image082.png"
o:title="npo000053"/>
</v:shape><![if !vml]><img border=0 v:shapes="Picture_x0020_5"
src="Fluorescence_Stemi_1_slide0153_image083.jpg"
style='position:absolute;
top:20.84%;left:43.31%;width:49.27%;height:71.73%'><![endif]><v:shape
id="_x0000_s346119"

I assume it says something like... "load image082.png but if PNG is
not supported try the image083.jpg" (maybe it says something
completely different, I don't know)

2- what really boggles me is the fact that there are 4 JPGs that I
inserted into a single slide...two of those are converted to PNG, the
other two are JPG.

3 - something else... granted, I have a lot of notes in the
presentation but the webexport actually creates a *master01.htm file
with 150kb .... that's a lot of data to wait for during download!

I appreciate any ideas or help!

Cheers,
Rene

Hi Steve!

I've managed to get rid of the PNG... don't ask me how... actually
what I did was to reexport the images, save them as JPG again and
reimport them. Finally they were stored as JPG. Perhaps it was really
the case of numbers of colors.

I'd bet a penny or two that "if !vml" means "if not VML"
Try unchecking "Rely on VML for displaying graphics in browsers" on the "Browsers" tab of
the Web Options dialog box.

However, the VML story... well I did not have this option activated!
And still all this code is generated.

Again, try deleting or renaming it and see if the browser will still display your pages.
That might be another "roundtrip" file

Actually it seems like their is endless formating of the text that is
included in the notes. It seems like every line or group of words is
formated, even though the actual format does not change. Here's an
example....

lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#FF3300'>therefore,
to label various organelles in a cell at the same time using
</span><span lang=EN-US
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#FF3300'>different dyes,
for example. It is also possible to label and </span><span lang=EN-US
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#FF3300'>simultaneously
monitor different cell groups within a developing </span><span
lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#FF3300'>organism
using FPs that fluoresce in different colors. A fluorescent
</span><span lang=EN-US
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#FF3300'>protein can be
attached to other proteins (including antibodies) to </span><span
lang=EN-US

Please note the repeated: </span><span lang=EN-US
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:#FF3300'> formating

Also, if you have to convert presentations often, don't need animation but do need more
control over the results, have a look at our [shameless plug] PPT2HTML add-in at
http://ppt2html.pptools.com

Actually I have looked at your ppt2html tool. It's certainly great for
certain applications, but in this case I really need the frame view
and navigation window.

Thanks for your help.
