Steve - Thanks for the reply!
Gotcha on "Package for CD" (for Windows).
And at no extra charge, you can read it in bad Japanese! Don't hurt me. ;-)
Ah, I wouldn't dream of hurting you, Steve... ;-D
I would, however, dream of hurting the web
services out there that still think that
feeding you the translation of the commonly-used
"gokurousama-desu" ("nice work" in Japanese)
as "It is hat off" is actually going to do
something to increase your linguistic and
cultural perception...
[---Begin and end rant---]
.... Actually, though, it's way off topic,
but now that it's been said, I actually do like the
Reference toolbar in Office 2008 (and in Office 2003
for Windows). Was it there in Office for Mac 2004?
It's handy to have a thesaurus, dictionary, and
bilingual dictionary available right there on that
floating toolbar/palette. The WorldLingo automatic
translations seem a little better than our friend
Google Translate. But only a little.
Having said this... I realize that since the topic
of the original mail in this thread is "POWER POINT",
we're not off-topic after all... haha...

Hi Jeff,
Uhhh... I thought that this was the whole idea behind the Pack 'n' Go thing,
to package up the presentation into a format for users who don't have PPT
installed.
Good point. David and I should've mentioned it as a possibility, but the OP
asked for a standalone EXE that'll run a presentation. Pack 'n Go doesn't do
that.
I noticed that PPT 2008 doesn't have Pack 'n' Go, although it
looks like you can save your presentation files all together as a "package",
i.e. in one folder. But that's different, eh.
Sorta, but that's essentially what Pack 'n Go does too. Oh, and it's gone
now,
replaced with Package for CD in Windows versions. Similar functions though.
Guess it's a Windows thang. So much for Mac users who want to share their
presentations, with animations and all, with users who don't have PowerPoint
installed.
That, unfortunately, is the case. There's a free PPT Viewer for Mac. er.
For
Mac users who still can fire up their Mac in Classic. Both of them.
There's another suggestion here ... a third-party viewer for Mac:

Would that it be good that PowerPoint files were easily outputted to Flash.
There are several apps that'll do the conversion (and now that we've said the
F-word aloud, we'll no doubt hear from several Chinese developers who don't
have a Mac product but don't let that deter them from spamming here. I'm
pretty sure all the PPT to Flash tools are Windows-only affairs.

Sorry. PowerPoint won't embed MP3s.
I want this
file to be like executable,
David's answered this one.
For Windows users, there's this though:
