Default Powerpoint in Mozilla Firefox

I've put my presentation on the web and it works fine in MS IE6 but it seems
it doesn't work in Firefox. Anybody know a way of doing this?

There are several ways of putting presentations on the web. How did you do it?

Steve,

I just saved it as a web page (html). I looked to see if there where any
options to specify browsers but I couldn't see anything useful.

In Firefox, I can see the list of slides but it doesn't show the content of
my slides, the notes or the navigation controls.

Any ideas?

Thanks for that Steve.

OK, what I'd suggest trying:

File, Save As Web Page then click the Publish button on the Save As dialog
box.
On the resulting dialog box, you can choose to extend support to several
older
browsers and/or click Web Options for even more ... well ... Web Options.
g

To get the best fidelity to the original PPT you'll need to view the thing
in
MSIE, but changing some of these other options should help with the view
from
FireFox. Not sure you'll get as far as being able to see notes and nav
controls, which may depend on controls unique to MSIE, but it's worth a
try.

If you need notes 'n nav but not animations and need wider browser
support,
have a look at our PPT2HTML add-in: http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/

The free demo lets you give it a good workout.
