PPT2000: Bitmaps Look Fuzzy When Published to the Web

• Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you publish a PowerPoint 2000 presentation as Web pages, and view the presentation in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, you see that any bitmap image you have inserted into your presentation appears "fuzzy" or jagged.

CAUSE

This happens because the Web option Resize graphics to fit browser window is on by default. This prevents you from controlling the scale of the slide when it is displayed on a Web page.

WORKAROUND

You can control how the browser scales the slide by carefully resizing the slide before creating the Web pages:

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. Choose a target monitor resolution that you expect your viewers to be using: on the Pictures tab, select the smallest monitor resolution you expect your viewers to use from the Screen size list.



5. Click OK, and then click OK again.



6. Click Page Setup on the File menu, and type the Width and Height settings respectively for the target size from the following table. Click OK.
   
   

   Monitor	Web slide	Page setup (WxH inches)
   544 x   376	256 x   191	2.67 x   1.98
   640 x   480	394 x   295	4.11 x   3.08
   720 x   512	437 x   327	4.55 x   3.40
   800 x   600	554 x   415	5.77 x   4.33
   1024 x   768	800 x   599	8.33 x   6.23
   1152 x   882	929 x   696	9.67 x   7.25
   1152 x   900	953 x   714	9.92 x   7.43
   1280 x 1024	1118 x   838	11.64 x   8.73
   1600 x 1200	1352 x 1013	14.08 x 10.55
   1800 x 1440	1671 x 1252	17.40 x 13.05
   1920 x 1200	1352 x 1014	14.08 x 10.56

   
   
   This resizes your presentation slide size so that when viewed at 100 percent in slide view, the presentation is the same size as when saved as Web pages.



7. View the slides at 100 percent zoom in slide view, and resize your graphics so they look the way you want them to.
