I created a powerpoint presentation(with audio, images, fonts and
animations.) and I am trying to transfer it to a cd to distibute to
hundreds( so it has to look great and professional without pauses)I
tried everything....the package as cd.... I converted it to
flash...self extraction files..vhs...I think I tried every
program...... Basically nothing worked! I need a clean method that
works and that all my FONTS,IMAGES,ANIMATIONS WORK!Thank You!

Did you tried adding the Powerpoint Viewer to the CD and make it an
autorun CD that start running the Viewer opening your presentation?

yes- most peolpe i askes suggested that....it did not work the
animations were slow and it ended up looking very
unprofessional.........

Would converting it into a movie work for your purposes?

i converted it to vhs- when i did the pictures lost their resolution
and were terrbily unclear. but i want my presentation to look like a
movie-(meaning it cannot be edited by the viewer)

You can capture the presentation and put it on a cd. You can use a
program such as camtasia by techsmith and record the screen of your
video and then save as a movie.

I check this out on powerpoint in office 2000 (not sure what version
you are using).. It seems failry simple..

I opened an existing PPT file, then chose file, saveas, then changed
the filetype to .htm (web page)..

you will then have a folder with all the files/sounds/images etc that
will run the slideshow from a web page..

Have the autorun.inf file in the root directory of your CD,
with the entire folder of your ppt/web files you just created.
have the autorun.inf file include this:

[autorun]
open=\foldername\fullscreen.htm
(fullscreen seems to be the default web page you want to run)

With Internet Explorer 6.0 and its popup blocker enabled, it does halt
the autoplay of the slideshow, but for the most part I think that
wouldn't be much of a problem..

Good luck!
Let us know how it works out for ya.

thanks for your response..... I want to create auto-run cd- that can
be viewed by any computer without interent.

I am in middle of downloading camtasia(haven't tried that yet)I have
downloaded other programs such as power converter, articulate....and
many that i can't remember.....are there any of these type of programs
that are free?

I downloaded camtasia- it was definately one of the better
programs-however i am still experiencing pauses on my presentation-
any suggestions?
