A quick look at PowerPointXP Help (I don't have PP2K available here) shows:

"When you publish your presentation to the Web or save it as a Web page, your
presentation automatically includes the following:

  A navigation frame, which is the outline of the presentation.

  A slide frame.

  A control for showing or hiding the outline of the presentation.

  A control for showing or hiding the notes pane."

The third item in the list above would seem to cover what you want in
the first question.

Slide effects will work in current versions of IE, but don't believe
they will in NS.  Same is true of other MS effects, such as the
scrolling "new service" banner at http://library.boisestate.edu   NS
will show the banner text, but won't scroll it, as far as I've ever
seen. Since that is something that degrades gracefully, we find it
acceptable.

IZ> * Is there a solution outside Powerpoint's own abilities to accomplish this?

Don't know of one, but haven't checked Tucows or other sources.  Using
MS Help and the added info on the MS website may have more
information.
