I have a very good presentation which I have spent a lot of time generating
using the MS agent -Merlin. I am now trying to save this to CD such that I
can send this to my clients. When I save as "package for CD" I am told that I
can not save this with micros etc (Which is what is required for running
Merlin). I can not see that this is possible but I have tried to find some
information i the help files but have failed. PLEASE can someone help me with
this somewhat simple request.

Regards to all

You can use Package for CD and opt *not* to include the PPT Viewer. The
Viewer does not support macros or Active X, etc., which is why the Agent
stuff won't run in a presentation viewed with the PPT Viewer. And the
Package for CD thing forces the use of the PPT Viewer.

Of course, this means that your audience will have to have PowerPoint
installed on their system in order to view the presentation.

You'll probably need to instruct your users to double-click the PPT file on
the CD, as the CD won't be set up to autorun -- because the autorun relies
on the PPT Viewer...
 
Hmm. And if a version that works in the viewer is needed (ie, if the users
don't have PPT) doesn't VoxProxy work with just the viewer?

Ah, yes, it does. I meant to mention that, especially because I think it's
very cool that it *does* work with the Viewer when so many other things
don't. http://www.voxproxy.com/index.swf

Thanks for the pickup.
