Re: burn CD w/slide show only

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Creating an autorun CD gives you the option to include the PPT Viewer. This
way, it doesn't matter that the recipients have PPT at all --so the version
doesn't matter.

The Viewer that PPT 2003 uses when you use File|Package for CD does not run
on Windows 98, but it does run on Windows 98 SE (second edition) as well as
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3; Windows ME; Windows Server 2003; Windows XP.
See

for details.

If your PPT file -- or collateral music, etc. -- is quite large, it could
indeed create a delay upon start. Likewise, a slow CD drive could cause this
also.

GM,

TY this did work. I still have a few questions. When I played the slide
show it seamed to have a minute delay to get started is this normal?
Also,
we tryed to play it on a lap top with XP power point 2000 by burning it as
package CD and it will not play. It makes the system freeze. What else
can
we do to make sure my clients get to view the show if they do not have
PP2003? Thank you for your help!

When you Save As SCROLL DOWN in the "save as type " box till you find
"powerpoint show *.pps". This will open in slideshow view

Hello

If you are using PowerPoint 2003 then use file->package for
cd->options->play all presentations automatically in the specified
order (or
play only 1st presentation automatically). All the setup stuff will
still be
there, but it should launch in presentation mode, not edit mode.

Btw you can have presentations launch automatically without burning to
cd by
saving as a .pps instead of a .ppt. As your new I thought you might be
interested
:-)

Hope that answers your question.
