viewer questions

[Guest]

I don't recall exactly, as it has been a long time since
I downloaded the player, but I believe that you run the
executable and that installs it into the Pack and Go
feature of your PP program. Then when you want to
distribute your presentation you open it up and select
Pack and Go. Follow the wizard and make sure you select
that you want to include the player. Pack and Go will
then copy your presentation and all of the linked files
together into a designated directory. Everythng gets
packed up into 3 files. When you execute the application
file it will unpack everything again into a new
destination folder-- including the player. Burn the
contents of that folder to CD and you're done.

Pack and Go uses the old Viewer. If you want to use the new PowerPoint 2003
Viewer, don't use Pack and Go. You can use the Package to CD function in
PowerPoint 2003. If you are using PowerPoint 97, 2000, or 2002 you can use
PowerLink Plus http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/acdpc.htm.
If you want to "do it yourself", you'll need to include all of your
presentation files, the Viewer files, and create an autorun.inf file. Then
burn the whole works to a CD, taking care to ensure that your links don't
break, i.e., all links are "relative".
