Saving to the Web: Recommendations
if you can mandate IE5, you’ll be happy– remember to set animations to play when
saving
if you have to support other browsers than IE5:– don’t rely on transition effects: you won’t see
them– avoid builds: use multiple slides to get same
effect– don’t use animation effects, sound, video– okay to use fonts, pictures, tables, and links to
other slides– publish using Netscape 3 or higher, or “both”
option

Broadcasting & Collaboration
both require network administration assistanceboth require big, fast public servers– not designed for peer-to-peer, LAN, or ISP-based
networks
broadcasting: you’ve got to really want it– requires extremely fast machine: 300 Mhz
minimum– use 2 machines; one for video, one for pres & audio
collaboration: might be faster to fly there– very cryptic setup; no UI for passing of controls– consider using mature third-party products
