PPT97: Portrait Presentation Is Exported to HTML as Landscape

ID: Q176532

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

If you export a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to the Web, using the PowerPoint Save As HTML wizard and your presentation slides are in portrait layout, the resulting HyperText Markup Language (HTML) file contains landscape slide images.

CAUSE

This is a limitation of the PowerPoint Save As HTML wizard. Because PowerPoint slides are designed for landscape orientation, the wizard outputs all HTML pages to display the slide images in landscape orientation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
