pptx to html

Question

New MAC pro laptop computers has Microsoft powerpoint presentation in html. How do you convert pptx to html?

Answer 1

PowerPoint used to be able to save a presentation as HTML, but that was a very long time ago. It hasn't been able to do that since 2007 or perhaps earlier.

There are add-ins or third-party programs that can convert PowerPoint presentations to HTML, though.

Perhaps the author of your HTML presentation used one of these.

Answer 2

Yep! That was one of the first things I tried when the Save as HTML feature disappeared from the program. With the same result.

PPT's HTML exports were always kind of weird; all sorts of non-standard craziness that helped them somewhat maintain things like animations, but that also made it hard to use the HTML in Blackboard and programs of that ilk (popular at many universities).

That was a nice boost to an add-in of mine that converted PPT to much simpler/more standard HTML and had a lot of accessibility features that PPT's own converter lacked. And a bigger boost when MS removed HTML output altogether.

Now that we can put our PPTX files in the cloud and link to them directly from pretty much any browser, there's not much need for HTML, so while my add-in still works, I've never updated it to 64-bit compatibility.

Answer 3

Sometimes old features still work in VBA, but not this one. I tried in PPT Mac an Windows and got the same message:

Answer 4

Are you referring to PowerPoint for the web? It's an online versions of PowerPoint, but still uses pptx format, not HTML.
