Publishing slides as HTML documents
You can publish Corel Presentations slide shows as HTML documents, so that you can publish them to the World Wide Web, using Corel Internet Publisher.
You must specify which graphic format to apply by converting the slide show to GIF, JPEG, or Portable Network Format (PNG) format. You can also use the Show It! plug-in or the Flash(tm) format (.Swf files) to publish a slide show in HTML format, complete with animation, transition, sound, and video support. When you use the Show It! plug-in, each slide is converted to a .Pqi file, which stores the required support.
To publish a slide show as an HTML document
1 Click File Internet Publisher.
The Corel Internet Publisher wizard starts.
2 Click Next.
3 Click Layout.
4 Enable one of the following options:
Create a new layout
Use an existing layout, and choose a layout from the list
5 Choose the formatting options for the slide show by following the instructions in the Internet Publisher wizard.
6 Click Finish.
If you want to save the slide show layout for future use, in the Save layout dialog box, type a filename in the box, and click Save.
You can also
Preview an existing layout In the Internet Publisher wizard, click Layout. Choose a layout option from the list. Click View layout.
Delete an existing layout In the Internet Publisher wizard, click Layout. Choose a layout option from the list. Click Delete layout.
To specify a graphic format for an HTML document
1 Click File Internet Publisher.
The Corel Internet Publisher wizard starts.
2 Click Graphic type, and enable one of the following graphic format options:
GIF-Graphics Interchange Format
JPEG-Joint Photographic Experts Group, and type a value in the Compression box
PNG-Portable Network Graphic
Show It!
Flash
Note
You can download the Show It! plug-in from the Corel Web site at www.corel.com. You can download the Flash(tm) plug-in from the Macromedia(r) Web site. You can download both plug-ins directly through Corel Internet Publisher.
Show It! publishes an entire slide show in HTML, complete with animation, transitions, sound, and video support. Flash also publishes the slide show in HTML with animation, transition and sound support. However, Flash does not support OLE objects, EPS objects, MIDI, CD, or compressed .Wav files, movies, SpeedLinks, or SpeedKeys. Publishing a slide show to the GIF, JPEG, or PNG format preserves graphics, but these formats do not support animation, transitions, or video.
Publishing slide show text as an XML document
You can publish Corel Presentations slide show text as an XML document so that you can reuse the text. This includes the text found in organization charts. The text inserted on a slide background or layout layer is not published to XML. In addition, the text formatting is not preserved.
The XML document generated by Corel Presentations is based on the Corel Presentations DTD (prxml1_0.dtd). The DTD is stored in the X:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 11\XML\DTD\PR DTD 1.0 folder, where "X" indicates the drive where you installed WordPerfect Office. For more information about the DTD, see "Corel Presentations DTD."
