WORKAROUND

You can save presentations as an .htm file or as a .mht file through the PowerPoint object model. This provides compatibility with older add-ins and macros.

To save a file as a webpage (*.htm;*.html) to the desktop by using the ppSaveAsHTML argument for the *.htm file format, without embedding true type fonts (msoFalse), follow these steps:

Open the presentation that you want to export to HTML.
Press ALT+F11.
Press CTRL+G.
In the Immediate window type the following:
ActivePresentation.SaveAs "<Drive>:\users\<username>\desktop\<filename>.htm", ppSaveAsHTML, msoFalse
Press ENTER.

Note To save as a Single File Web Page (*.mht;*.mhtml) file format, replace html at the end of the file name with mht, and replace ppSaveAsHTML with ppSaveAsWebArchive.
