Hi,

Well, but don't ever run a presentation from floppy disc. Anyway, if you are
planning on using the new viewer, it wont fit on a floppy with a
presentation as well. But you might be able to use a floppy to shift the
presentation to another computer, and another floppy to carry the installer
executable for the viewer? If you plan to use the new viewer, that is. Else
download it onto the target machine from the internet.

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

The ability to save a presentation and all of it's supporting files to a
single, distributable file or spanning multiple floppy disks (provided, by
Pack and Go in previous versions of PowerPoint) is, as you discovered, not
available in PowerPoint 2003.

Instead, to address a major distribution scenario which customers
requested, the Package for CD feature was added to PowerPoint 2003
(replacing Pack and Go) which provides the ability to put a presentation
and all supporting files (including a Viewer) on to a recordable CD or into
a new folder on a hard-drive. In the latter case, the contents of the
folder could be converted into a single file (PKZip, WinZIP, etc.) for
distribution in ways other than by CD.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how
PowerPoint might improve it's distribution capabilities, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
