I just created one and tried it in Firefox.

From Wikipedia: <quote> MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a web page archive format used to bind resources which are typically represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, Java applets, audio files) together with HTML code into a single file. The content of an MHTML file is encoded as if it were an HTML e-mail message, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first of the file is normally encoded HTML; subsequent parts are additional resources identified by their original URLs and encoded in base64. This format is sometimes referred to as MHT, after the suffix .mht given to such files by default when created by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. MHTML is a proposed standard, circulated in a revised edition in 1999 as RFC 2557. Few browsers support this format, and the process for saving a web page along with its resources as an MHTML file is not standardized across those browsers that do. Due to this, a web page saved as an MHTML file using one browser may render differently on another. </quote> Even if it is supported, it's not necessarily a good idea. You have to download the whole .mht package to see a single slide- even the intro. With a normal multiple file setup, you only need to download a specific slide if you want to see it. > On the Pictures tab, the default Monitor display setting is 800 X 600. > Again, why? Many people still use that resolution. Using that as the default means that the page layout works with low resolution monitors and with browser windows which are not maximized.
