upgrade i guess!
 
What's wrong with PowerPoint Viewer?
(the right answer to your question will probably depend
 
Hi,

The copy to CD feature does a good job, but it does not produce a single exe
output file. If this is what you are hoping to do, this will help:

Make a standalone EXE that runs a PowerPoint presentation

However, the audinece will need the viewer, unless you resort to outputing
in html, in which case they will need Internet Explorer.

I wasn't aware of the copy to CD when I asked my question. What I was
looking for was a way
to mass distribute CDs to a large, executive management level audience who
has no time or
technical expertise to make something work. I'd like them to just be able
to insert the CD
and it would autorun and show the presentation. I envisioned this as a self
contained .EXE
but if copy to CD works like this (and it appears on the MS website that it
does), then that
solution is fine.
