Hi,

Use File > Save As and choose the format PowerPoint Package. The
resulting folder will have a copy of the presentation with copies of
your media. The links will be correct if you don't change anything.

Put the folder onto the DVD then burn it.

If only.

I have tried several times to burn a CD with text, music and graphics. The package option has regularly left out the music links.

My workaround was finally to put all the ppt, music and graphics files in the same folder and just burn the folder itself.

Another PPT 08 flaw that has cost me an enormous amount of time.

The 2003 Windows version worked just fine from the get-go, though.
