Packaging a Presentation on CD

The Package for CD feature allows you to copy on CD one or more presentations and all of the supporting files, including linked files. The feature also automatically runs your presentations. The updated PowerPoint Viewer is included on the CD when you package your presentations. The PowerPoint Viewer is a program used to run presentations on computers that don't have Microsoft PowerPoint installed. If you are packaging your presentation for use on your laptop computer or a network, you can use Package for CD to package your presentation to a folder or a network.
