PPT2000: Web Pages Always Have Frames

ID: Q237402

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

SYMPTOMS

There is no way to disable the frame pages layout for a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 Web presentation, as you can in Microsoft PowerPoint 7.0 for Windows 95, or Microsoft PowerPoint 97. The layout makes use of frames with the same elements; outline, navigation controls, and slides always appear in the same location.


WORKAROUND

To view your presentation without visible frames, use one of the following methods to hide them. These methods do not disable the Web presentation's frameset; they just hide the unwanted frames.

NOTE: You can only use methods 1 and 2 when you publish your Web presentation in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later (high fidelity) format.

Method 1: Bypass the Frames

Create a hyperlink to the Fullscreen.htm file. This file opens the saved presentation so that it fills the entire browser window.

This file is located in the PresentationName_files folder, where PresentationName refers to the file name of your presentation. When linked this way, the browser is closed when the full-screen show ends. To prevent this from happening, specify that the hyperlink to the Fullscreen.htm file should open in a new window. The HTML code to invoke that behavior resembles the following: 

<a href="presentation_files/fullscreen.htm" target="_blank"> Click to 
launch slide show </a>

Method 2: Disable Navigation Controls

NOTE: If you disable slide navigation controls, you cannot navigate your presentation in a Web browser unless you use Action Settings on your slides. For additional information, please click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

You can disable slide navigation controls in your Web presentation, which forces your Web presentation to open in full-screen mode. This does not disable frames however; it simply reduces them to 0 points in height and width. To disable slide navigation controls:
  1. With your presentation open, click Save as Web Page on the File menu.


  2. On the Tools menu in the Save As dialog box, click Web Options.


  3. On the General tab, click to clear the Add slide navigation controls check box, and click OK.


  4. Click Save.


Method 3: Disable the Outline Frame

NOTE: Method 3 publishes your Web presentation in the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later format, and uses a Screen size setting for the target monitor of 544 x 376.
  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.


  2. On the General tab of the Options dialog box, click Web Options.


  3. On the General tab of the Web Options dialog box, click to clear the Resize graphics to fit browser window check box.


  4. On the Pictures tab, click 544 x 376 in the Screen size list.


  5. Click OK, and then click OK again.


  6. On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.


  7. Click Publish.


  8. Under Browser support, click Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, and then click Publish.


The Web presentation now has only the slide frame and navigation bar frame visible.
