Re: PP Custom Animation Timing faster when slideshow run on newer computer

Oh, heck, that's from my own site! See why I don't offer any real support
for the info there?

I think that article is wrong there. At least, I don't recall these being a
problem. (Or it could be that MS didn't want to claim those functions work
because they don't always? I mean, notice that that article says it's "as
is" yada, yada. The whole "run the 97 Viewer from a CD" isn't something MS
ever really supported.)

Hopefully someone else will pop in if they're sure one way or the other.
I'll try to test sometime this weekend. Or you could -- probably should
anyway, actually -- burn a quick test CD to see how it acts for you.

It also may not be an issue for you -- do you need to link to other PPT
files or to websites?
