I am having trouble saving a powerpoint presentation onto a cd and then
playing it on a computer other than my own, when I have used music files.
The presentation looks to the original computer in order to play them. Even
when I put the music files on the CD, they still are not in the right place.
What do I do if I want to send a presentation to someone via CD - how can
they get it with the music playing in the background?

Hi Amy

If you use package for cd the links should be maintained. See here for more

Amy,

see
Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
