How can I show my pres. on any computer on a CD?
I want to make a mini-cd disc presentation for my company and I want it work on any computer, even if it doesn't have Power Point? I am wondering if "pack n go" will work to a cd or if there is another option?

How can I show my pres. on any computer on a CD?
There are many ways to do this, and you will probably get many different
responses. The way I prefer (for its extreme simplicity) is to save the presentation as a web page, and copy it and an .INF file to a CD. Put the ..INF file in the root folder of your web on the CD. I think this technique requires IE4 or higher. (I use IE6.) It does not require PPT or a PPT viewer. The .INF file is simplicity itself (no quotes): "[autorun] shellexecute=index.htm" It works for me and I love it. And users can view the presentation the same way they view the Internet: by surfing. I use PPT '02, but it works in PPT '03 and might work in PPT '00. Yes, Pack & Go will work to a CD, but you'll have to get one of the PPT gurus to explain it to you. "Saw Horse" wrote in message ...

Walter, would this technique make it so that Mac users could also open the presentations?
Thanks, Sharon |

But converting the PPT to HTML is one way of making it more universal; you still need to test it pretty thoroughly. Some of PPT's features are only supported in current Windows versions of MS Internet Explorer. They may or may not work on the Mac versions or in other browsers (like Mac Safari) -- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Featured Presenter, PowerPoint Live 2004 October 10-13, San Diego, CA www.PowerPointLive.com ================================================ |
