Viewing PowerPoint2000 Presentations in Netscape

Has anyone else found it impossible to view slide shows prepared with
PowerPoint 2000 (and saved as html) with Netscape?

I've tried using Netscape Communicator v. 4.7 and 4.5 on both PC and Mac.
All return only Javascript error messages after warning that the site has
been optimized for viewing with Internet Explorer.  And, yes, the
PowerPoints work when viewed with IE5.

I've checked the Netscape site but found no references to the problem. I
haven't tried their fee based technical support.  That will be the next
step, I suppose.  

Here is a test PowerPoint:

Is the only solution to abandon Netscape when viewing new PowerPoints?
That seems to bring up larger issues . . . 

Thanks-
