Creating a CD with Viewer that will run on a PC or a MAC

[Julie]

I'm trying to create a CD that will automatically run when
inserted, run viewer, and begin a PPT slide show.

This all works great on a PC - thanks to
www.echovoice.com. However, what do I have to do so that
it automatically works on a MAC, too?

Thanks!

There's a link at the bottom of
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00037.htm that may help.

ISTR that you can use Toast on the Mac to create cross-platform CDs.
(That's all I know, though!)

Hello,

Although PowerPoint 2003 has the built-in capability to create autorun CD's
for playing on Windows PC's, it does not have the capability to create
cross-platform (Win/Mac) autorun CD's.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important that
PowerPoint provide this kind of functionality, don't forget to send your
feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. 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.

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