To import a Web page as a slide

1. From the Insert menu, choose Web Page.

   The Insert Web Page dialog box is displayed.

2. Select from where you want to import the page. You have two choices:
   • From an existing Web site
   • A hard drive or a shared file folder
3. If you selected Internet or intranet site, type the full address (URL) or if you selected A hard drive or a shared file folder, type the fully-qualified path to the Web page.

   For example, http://www.companyname.com/index.html or C:\WebPages\Page1.html

   When entering a file from your hard drive or shared file folder, you can click Browse to locate the file. As you change folders, only files with the .htm and .html extension are listed.

4. Click Verify Link to ensure that the path you entered to the Web page is correct.

   If the path you entered is correct, the Web page will be displayed in your default Web browser. Otherwise, you will receive an error message saying that the page could not be located. In which case, you must check the link to ensure that it points to a valid Web page.

5. Click OK.

   The name of the file will be displayed. The Web page will always be inserted as a slide, even if your insertion point was on a bullet.

Note

• We recommend that you insert the Web page from an Internet or intranet site because this ensures that any links in the file to graphics files, Java applets, ActiveX controls, and other object files will be retained.

  On the other hand, if you insert a Web page from a file folder, you must copy any attached graphic or object files manually to your publication folder and retain the original folder structure. However, this does not guarantee that all tags will be displayed.

  The tags which may contain broken links are:

  • img
  • anchor (a)
  • object
  • imbed
  • style

• If your HTML page contains hyperlinks, you should direct the link to replace the current browser window or open an entirely new browser window. Otherwise, the Web page will display only in the slide area. You can have the new page replace your e-show in the browser window by adding the following parameter to your anchor tag: target="_top".

  Or, you can open a new browser window by adding the following parameter to your anchor tag: target="_blank". Depending on the size of your e-show, opening a new browser window may affect the performance.
