How To Distribute Presentations On CD-ROMs That Can Be Viewed Where Powerpoint Is Not Installed

QUESTION: Hi,

my name is Clara and I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation on my daughter's first birthday. I would like to put it on CD-ROM and send it to my relatives abroad.

My question is: how can I make sure that people who don't have PowerPoint will be able to view it? Should I save it as a PowerPoint Show? Do I have to include a PowerPoint viewer on the CD-ROM in case they don't have PowerPoint?

Thank you in advance!

Clara

ANSWER: Dear Clara,

relating to your questions, the easiest way to put your presentation on a CD-ROM and making sure that everyone will be able to view it, is to create an autorun compact disc.

To do this, you can use PPPCD Deluxe which is the system for distributing PowerPoint (97, 2000, XP/2002 and 2003) presentations on autorun compact discs. Presentations that are included on a PPPCD Deluxe CD-ROM can be viewed on computers that do not have Microsoft PowerPoint installed. PPPCD Deluxe even provides viewing support for PowerPoint XP/2002 and 2003 animations on systems without PowerPoint XP/2002, or 2003 installed.

See here for prices or try the free version.
