Re: Presentation distribution b y CD

Smaller file size is always, always better - doublely so with PowerPoint.
PowerPoint can create an auto-run CD that uses the PowerPoint viewer, so it
should run on most systems.

Slower and older systems may benefit the most from smaller file sizes. Are
you sure you can't reduce the file size more?

Has anyone encountered any issues in running a large presentation
(40-50mb+) off of a CD that is distributed to a wide range of end users
with a wide range of hardware and software configurations? How does
PowerPoint load a Presentation into memory to run? Does it load the
entire presentation at one time or does it load only what is needed
when it is needed (slides)?
