About Powerpoint - for Windows 
Often instructors will have you add a PowerPoint presentation to a course area such as Student Presentations.

For any file to be viewable on the Web it needs to be in an Internet compatible format such as HTML. Thus, for students to view the presentation online, no matter what computer platform they use, the PowerPoint will need to be saved as a Web Page (2000, 2001, XP, 2003) or HTML (97/98).

If requested to upload a PowerPoint as an attachment to either WebCT Mail or Discussions there is NO NEED to save it as a web page, just upload the regular powerpoint file (view "How do I add an attachment to either Mail or Discussions" for additional information).

Saving as a WebPage 
In PowerPoint (following screen shots are from Office 2000, but the process applies to versions 2000+ as well) select File and "Save as Web Page".

Verify that "File name:" has no spaces and click on the "Publish" button .

Select the second radio button for "Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later".

Select the button for "Web Options...".

Go to the "Files" tab.

DESELECT the option for "Organize supporting files in a folder" and click the "OK" button.

Select the "Browse" button. 

Locate an area on the computer to create and save a folder (my Documents or Desktop) and select to the "Create new Folder".

Give the new folder the same name as the presentation (no spaces) and click "OK".

Click "OK" again. 

Click the "Publish" button.

What will be produced is a SINGLE folder containing multiple files.

To upload this folder to the Student Presentation tool, please view the tutorial on "How do I add a PowerPoint presentation to the Student Presentation area".
