Packaged for CD

[Guest]

I have used the Publish - Package to CD and the file saved at the designated
folder. However, I need to send the presentation via email so it comes up as
a slide presentation. I have tried various ways to attach the folder to no
avail. Then when I go into the folder there is no one file that I can attach
so it does what I need it to do.

Simply put, How do I attach Packaged to CD files so they are open as a PPTX
slide show. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Keyword is CD. If you have attached sounds/movies, they will have to
accompany the presentation. If it is just a straight text and pictures, save
it a backward compatible PowerPoint slide show (.pps) and attach that to
your email. As long as the recipient has PowerPoint or the PowerPoint viewer
they should be able to open and view it.

The hard reality is that you can't.

You can zip all the files up and attach the zip file with instructions to the
user to unzip them to a common folder and run from there or even make a
self-extracting EXE that autoruns the player file. Or you may be able to attach
all the individual files to a single email and instruct the recipient to save
all the files to a common folder.

Now if you know all of them will have either PPT or the free viewer, and there
aren't linked movies/sounds that have to travel with the file, you could just
save as a PPT show (PPS) and attach that.
