Is it possible for me to burn a Powerpoint Slideshow onto a DVD and play it
in a DVD player?
in a DVD player?

DVD-Video and DVD-ROM. David's talking about DVD-Video, whereas you're
talking DVD-ROM.

a DVD that is what I do, and I never have a problem. I have even gone to
business meetings with them. Is there something that I could be doing that
is enabling me to be sucessful or am I just that lucky?
David M. Marcovitz said:Yes, Echo!!!! You must be right. I was referring to a DVD player hooked up to
a TV (no computer), and I think (but don't know) that that is what the
original question was about. Kulakula must be referring to a DVD player
hooked up to a computer (DVD-ROM). If Echo is right, then everybody is right,
and Alicia (the original questioner) can take my advice if she means playing
her presentation with a DVD player on a TV, and she can take KulaKula's
advice if she means playing her presentation with a DVD player on a computer.
Thanks, Echo.

Just burning a PPT presentation onto a DVD won't work. DVD players can't
play PowerPoint files. Check out "Convert presentations to VHS or DVD
video" from the PPT FAQ for some suggestions:

Do you have a DVD burner on your computer? If so, place a DVD
writable into the drive, and save just as you would on a floppy disk
or regular CD. Just be sure that you are saving onto the right drive.
