     Have Powerpoint 2002 running on Windows XP and I am
having problems with the Pack and Go Feature and the
Viewer.
     1. First, when I select the Pack and Go Wizard and
get to the "Choose a Destination" option I have available
the choice of a "G" and an "H" drive and a "Choose
Destination". I have no Floppy Drive and my two CD
Burners are Drive "E" and Drive "F". One is a DVD but
will also burn CD-R's. When I go to "Choose Destination"
and select either "E" or "F" drive I get an error message
stating "The Parameter is Incorrect" and it will not let
me access either Drive. Pack and Go I think was
originally intended to copy to a Floppy. Is it possible
that it will not write to a CD-R? Any assistance here
would be appreciated.
     2. Second I downloaded the Viewer which is a 1997
version that is suppose to work with 1997, 2000, and 2002
PowerPoint versions, running on Windows 95, 98, 2000, and
ME but I noted it did not list Windows XP. In any case I
attempted to run a presentation on the desk top computer
and monitor just to see how it worked. It ran but none
of the slide entrance animations and some of the
paragraph and word animations do not work. Some of the
sound clips do not play, and some of the words and titles
on the slides are out of line. Does Windows XP not
support this viewer? Any assistance here would also be
appreciated.
     3. I can write the presentation file to a CD-R
using my writing software but some of the links on sound
and videos used on the slides do not play on my Laptop
because the slide only carries a link to that media which
is on the desktop. I could copy all the media to the CD-
R and on to the laptop but then I have to delete the
links and reinsert them from the laptop into each slide
again - a bit of a pain. Is there any way to copy the
presentation to the CD-R and have it include the media
within each slide as is "suppose" to be accomplished with
the Pack and Go Wizard that does not seem to work?
Thanks, Bowdrie.
