Presentation made on XP Powerpoint - play OK on Windows 2000?

[Guest]

I have just prepared a Powerpoint presentation for a job interview, but am
concerned that it might not play properly. The PC I put it together on runs
Windows XP, but the computer that I'll be presenting it through runs Windows
2000. Will it be OK?

As long as they have PowerPoint or the PowerPoint viewer on their system it
will work just fine. In case they don't, you might not want to take any
chances and produce an auto run CD

Thanks Michael - when I first read your response I was initailly worried that
I wouldn't be able to talk over an "autorun" CD, but the obvious solution
here would be to use the "pause" button, I guess?

That would be one way, or you could advance your slides with a mouse click
rather than an automatic transition.

An autorun CD just means that the presentation will automatically start
(optionally using a copy of the PPT viewer from the CD itself, so you're sure
it's available).

Whether the presentation then runs automatically or only advances when you tell
it to is up to you and how you set up the presentation. In short, making it an
autorun CD won't change its behavior.

As long as they have PowerPoint or the PowerPoint viewer on their system it
will work just fine. In case they don't, you might not want to take any
chances and produce an auto run CD
