Re: Presentation distribution b y CD

I have some large animation files that I can probably reduce but it is
running at 500 slides. This is being used for training of volunteers on
how to set up and operate a mass dispensing/vaccination clinic in a
large-scale disease outbreak. There is just alot of varying components
and resource tools that tie into the presentation. It is very important
to me and to public health, however, that it be a stable product for
end users with a wide range of hardware and operating systems.

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)?
