PACKAGE CD FEATURE IS MISSING

[Guest]

I am running PowerPoint 2003 Professional Ed. and XP Operating System. I
have used the Package for CD feature in the past, but when I went to package
this last presentation the feature is no longer an available item.
I have expanded the "File" menu, and I do have the presentation open when
trying to do this.
Any ideas? I've been searching help/discussion forums for awhile but to no
avail.
Thank you!

I don't know if this will work or not, but try Tools | Customize, and on the
Options tab, click the button for "reset usage data."

It sounded like the right idea; but, unfortunately, did not solve the
problem. But your answer led me to the Customize Toolbar which was good--but
The Package CD is not even in there to re-add it. ?

In conjunction to what Echo has suggested, have you installed the SP for
PowerPoint? Have you Tried Detect and Repair?

If none of the other suggestions work, try rerunning Setup from the original
Office CD. You'll have the opportunity to add or remove Office components.
Find the Package for CD component and put a check next to it (assuming there
isn't one there already) and let setup complete its work.

I have the SP2 if that is the latest. I have not tried Detect and Repair.
Shamefully, I admit I do not know how. Always willing to learn something
new. I'll have to check it out and let you know. Thank you.

SP2 is the latest. Detect and Repair can be found under Help.

Update--that was easy--but unfortunately did not fix it. I'll have to see if
my IT Dept. can help me reinstall since they control the software. Thank you
for your help!
