PPT 2003 Package for CD
I have a one slide presentation called Index, that has
links to eight other presentations. Some of these other presentations have links to pdf and Word files. I have "Packaged for CD" with an auto run to my Index presentation and included the Powerpoint viewer, linked files and embedded the fonts. During this process some of the pdf files, ppt presentations cannot be copied. I get this error message: One or more of your presentations contain macros, linked programs, linked objects, or embedded objects. They will not work in the PowerPoint Viewer. Do you want to continue" I tried continuing. When I insert the finished CD, the Index presentation opens automatically but some of the links do not work. If I manually burn a CD without any auto-run actions then all of the linked presentations, pdf's and Word docs work fine. Any work-arounds? Thanks, Rob |

PPT 2003 Package for CD
Package for CD is warning you about a constraint of the PowerPoint 2003
Viewer. For security reasons Microsoft designed the Viewer in such a way that it doesn't allow you to view links to files that "may" contain macros. In your last paragraph you mention testing a CD, but you were probably not running the presentation in the Viewer, right? We have a work around in Autorun CD Project Creator Pro. You might want to take it for a trial run and see how you can create an autorun CD that works with links to PDF, DOC, XLS, and HTML files. http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorial.../acdpc_pro.htm -- Sonia, MS PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun CD software, templates, and tutorials http://www.soniacoleman.com/ "Rob" wrote in message ...

You are correct, I was not running the test using the
viewer. Thanks for the quick reply and I will try using Autorun CD Project Creator Pro.
