SYMPTOMS

When you view an unsaved slide show, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the Address box on the Web toolbar looks like this:

untitled%201.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if you have not saved the slide presentation and you selected the "Browsed by an individual (window)" option in the Set Up Show dialog box.

NOTE: To locate the "Browsed by an individual (window)" option, click Set Up Show on the Slide Show menu.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior and have the correct URL appear in the Address box, save the presentation before you run the slide show.

STATUS

Microsoft welcomes suggestions or comments about changes in functionality and product design.

MORE INFORMATION

Some Web browsers do not accept spaces in the URL. To work around this limitation you can use a %20 in place of the space.
