"Package for CD" missing

[Benjamin Weber]

Hi everybody,

I have PPT 2007 (Office Professional Plus) on a Windows XP (v2002, SP3)
machine. The problem is: the menu does not have the "Package for CD" icon!
It's ust not there.

So far I tried:
1) "Repair" using the installation CD
2) Remove PPT and install again
3) Looked for the command with "Customize" and put it into QuickStart. The
icon is grayed out
4) Installed all current updates
5) Checked MS help site but my files is not read-only, not marked as
finisched/completed, not in a network environment nor accessed by others
simultaneously
6) Presentations created on my computer can be packaged on computers of my
colleagues (who by the way used the same installation CD I used)

Any idea?

The option doesn't appear under the "Publish" menu either?

The obvious question would be if you have a CD burner in your computer or
just a reader.

Hi Jaime,

thanks for your reply. As I wrote, the option does not appear, aslo not in
the "Publish" menu. That's were I looked in the first place ;-)

I have CD burner, not only a reader. We have several machine with the same
hardware configuration. On the other PCs which have PPT installed from the
same installation CD the option is available and works fine.

Was it this KB article you used to check for problems? Most of them
probably don't apply, since you can package the same presentation on other
computers.

It's hidden in the Office button/Publish

Thanks for the hint, but as I already wrote. It does NOT appear at "Office
button > Publish". Al other options are available.

Hi Jaime,

yes it was this article I checked. But all suggestions to solve the problem
in this article do not apply in my case (not used in a network, no weird
fonts, not read-only etc...)

But thanks for your advice anyway.

Regards,
Benjamin
