Optimize your presentation for a specific browser

You can help assure that your online presentation is

accessible by users with the most popular browsers

when you optimize your presentation for specific

browsers. You can accomplish this by selecting

browser brands and versions that you want to make

sure your presentation works well with.

Options include Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or

later and Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later. Default

Web presentations are optimized for Microsoft

Internet Explorer 4.0 or later because the majority of

Internet browsers fall in this category. However, if

you are creating a presentation for use within your

company and your company is standardized on

Microsoft Office 2007 programs like PowerPoint 2007,

you can instead choose to create presentations for

Internet Explorer 6.0 or later because Office 2007

supports it. Conversely, if you are creating a Web

presentation for use on the Internet, you may want

to optimize your presentation for both Internet

Explorer 4.0 and Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later to

make your presentation viewable by a broad array of

users with a variety of Web browsers.

1 Click the Office button.

2 Click Save As.

The Save As dialog box appears.

3 Navigate to the folder in which

you want to save the online

presentation.

4 Click here and select either Single

File Web Page or Web Page.

5 Click Publish.

The Publish as Web

Page dialog box

appears.

6 Click Web Options.

The Web Options dialog box appears.

7 Click the Browsers tab.

8 Click here and select the browser you

want to use.

9 Click OK.

0 Click Publish.

The presentation is published optimized

for the chosen browser or browser

combination.

Caution!

Online presentation files get larger as more browser

brands and versions are supported because additional

code is necessary to support features in older

browsers. Be conservative in the range of browsers

for which you choose to optimize your presentation.

Optimizing your presentation for Internet Explorer 6.0

creates the smallest and fastest-to-load file size.

Conversely, presentations optimized for Internet

Explorer 3.0 and Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later

create larger files that load more slowly.

Caution!

Not all features in your presentation work on all

browser brands and versions. For example, some

slide transitions and animations do not work on older

browser versions.
