Viewing powerpoint on a new Mac

[Dave]

I want to send a CD with a Powerpoint 2000 presentation
on it to several friends who do not have Powerpoint. For
my Windows friends I'll just include a copy of Viewer 97
that they can install on their machines. What do I do
about my other friends that are running Mac OS X (ten)?
Is their a view for Mac that will show a presentation
created on my Windows machine?

Thanks for any help,
Dave

There's a link to a Mac version of the Viewer here, Dave.

I believe if you want to make an autorun CD for the Mac, though, you'd
need to use Toast. (Someone will be along soon to correct that if I'm
wrong.)

Thanks for the help. I am using ppt 2000 SR-1
(9.0.3821). I am especially hopefull that the viewer you
suggest will work with Mac OS 10; not much seems to.

It should ... at least to the extent possible; the viewer doesn't support
all the new bells and whistles, but since you're on PPT 2000, it shouldn't
fall down in too many instances.

You might want to ask in microsoft.public.mac.office.powerpoint to get more
OS X feedback on it, though.
