PowerPoint presentations distributed on a CD

[Guest]

I've looked through the other questions and comments posted here and couldn't
get a good sense as to which is “the best way†to create an autorun
presentation CD. I would happily upgrade to Office 2003 or purchase one of
the third party options which are identified in other postings if only I knew
which would work the best.

I've been asked to take an old training CD created in Authorware and convert
all of the content to PowerPoint slides so it will be easier to periodically
update. The new PPT training files will need to be distributed on CD.

I am currently running Windows and Office XP. This training CD project will
have multiple modules (ppt files) which will start from links created on a
Main Menu slide. So, I plan to have extensive hyperlinks throughout all of
the slides, some PPT animations, as well as some .wav and .avi clips.

Also--I have many years of experience with PowerPoint, but I’ve never
completed a project quite like this. Could someone point me to a resource
which could help me through this tutorial creation project?

Thanks!!!

You actually have three choices that are equally good, each of which I can
recommend:

1. Upgrade to PowerPoint 2003 and use Package for CD on the File menu.

2. Try the software that I sell and purchase it if your are satisfied with the
test. http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/acdpc.htm. The benefit
here is that you receive excellent personal support. :>))

3. Create the CD yourself using the procedure described at
