If you can suggest a solution, I would be so grateful. Thank you! Mary

Mary,
try to "Save" your presentation "As"
"PowerPoint95 and 97 Presentation"
(instead of "Presentation *.ppt")
or "As"
"*.pps"

I can place your presentation and the viewer on a CD that will play
automatically when placed in the PC and best of all...It doesn't
install a single file on the PC !
Some folks will tell you you can't do this. Yes we can.

You can download a add a plug in called "cd wizard" and this can be obtained
from the microsoft site. If you have your powerpoint viewer properly
installed you can install the cd wizard. When your powerpoint is open you
will notice a new sub menu under the file menu that says, distribute to a
cd. Create a folder for this to output to and continue with the operation.
It will extract all needed files into this folder. Then when you are ready
to burn it to a cd, all you do is take all the contents from this folder and
put into your cd burning software. Before you burn make sure any of your avi
or mpeg video is contained in the "preset" folder and if they are not insert
them before you burn. After this process burn your cd and test it out.
There are much better instructions for this process on the microsoft site
that help, but in a nut shell well you know.

Exactly where on the Microsoft site is this "cd wizard" ??
Several attempts to track it down have proved fruitless!! Much appreciated
if you could let me into this 'much needed' secret...
Thanks in advance, Mark Bateman.
TIA

I tried it after installing PPT2000. The CD Wizard apparently expects
particular files in particular places for PPT '97. It did not work with PPT
2000.
Suggest manual setup option. See MS Knowledgebase article Q173937.

Looking at the CD directory setup it would seem everything is OK. i.e., I show
the following on my CD:
D:\
\Present
\Setup
Autorun.inf
then a whole bunch of .dll and .srg files
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you are able to give.

This gives you instant access to the file and looks a heck of a lot more
professional than what I frequently see. (Open PowerPoint, Open the
Presentation, click the wrong key, full PPT program, find the slide again,
restart the presentation from that point.)
Going directly to a PPS presentation limits the number of mistakes you can
make while you are thinking on your feet.
The solution I offered is geared towards self-running presentations assuming
the CD-Rom is set up with the proper auto-insert notification settings on
the CD-Rom which is the Win '9x default.
FWIW

This one was not obvious.
FWIW,

One final question, can the same be achieved with the 16-bit PowerPoint
viewer? I fully appreciate that Windows 3.x doesn't support the autorun
facility of Win-9x.
What I need to achieve is to be able to run either the 16 or 32 bit viewers
from the CD with no need to install anything on the viewers machine.
I intend to use InstallShield to determine the OS and run the appropriate
command line to begin the presentation.
Many thanks in advance,
Mark Bateman.
