You cannot preview a Web presentation in PowerPoint 2003 (817103)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
SYMPTOMSWhen you try to preview a Web presentation in PowerPoint
2003, you may receive one or both of the following messages: Content in this Web site is being blocked by Internet Explorer
Enhanced Security Configuration. This message has the option
to close the message and the option to add the Web site to your Trusted Sites
zone in Microsoft Internet Explorer. This presentation contains content that
your browser may not be able to show properly. This presentation was optimized
for more recent versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you would like to
proceed anyway, click here. When you click the here hyperlink in the message, Internet Explorer loads the frameset
for the Web presentation, but does not populate it with any text or
slides. CAUSEThis problem occurs if any of the following conditions are
true:
- You preview the Web presentation on a computer that is
running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration option enabled.
In this case, you receive both of the
messages that are referenced in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
- You preview the Web presentation and the Internet Explorer
security setting is set to High for Local Intranets.
In this case, you
only receive the second message that is referenced in the "Symptoms" section of
this article.

your Web presentation to either a Web site or a public share. Note You cannot use the preview function if you have configured your

Web Page.
- Click Publish.
- Click Browse, and then either select your
Web site location or select a shared network folder.

If you want to preview the Web page after it is saved, locate
the .mht file in the share or Web site where you published it, and then open
the Web page with Internet Explorer. At this point, you receive the
message that prompts you to close the message or to add your Web page preview
temporary file to the Trusted Sites zone. Select the option to add the file to
the Trusted Sites zone when you receive this message. Note The security level for the Trusted Sites zone must be set to
Medium or lower to run the scripts in the Web presentation. If you

Web site or public share manually to the Internet Explorer Trusted Sites. To do
this:
- In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu,
click Internet Options.
- Click the Security tab, and then click
Trusted Sites zone.
- Click Sites.
