Presentation probs

[Marshypants]

Please Help.

I've spent hours on this and don't seem to be able to get my CD to autorun.
I've saved my presentation as a Web Page but cannot get it to autorun. I've
tried using Launch and also Autorun ([autorun]
open=ppview32.exe Folder\Filename.htm), but nothing seems to work. Also it
has external hyperlinks on it and they keep breaking when I move the
presentation to CD!

I'll send you a gold star if you can help.

Thanks (in anticipation)

See http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/acdpc_instructions.htm,
which will do it for you, or http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd.htm if you want
to do it yourself.

In the meantime, you haven't told us what isn't working, what message(s) you
get, etc., so it's hard to tell you how to correct your error. If it just won't
autorun, and other commercial CD's do autorun, then be sure that your
autorun.inf file is in the root directory of the CD.

The PowerPoint viewer is for playing *PowerPoint* files (.PPT and .PPS), not
HTML/web files. Instead of saving your presentation to HTML, just save it as a
PowerPoint Show and use that on your CD.

Sonia, Steve

Thank you both for your reply's I will try out your responses. The external
links to the presentation are word and excel documents, I have put all files
in the same folder but cannot transfer them (and make them work) onto a CD.
I am using Powerpoint 97 and the pack and go will not copy to my d:\, any
ideas???

Pack and Go doesn't write to CDs. Instead, pack to a folder on your hard drive then
burn the contents of that folder to the root directory of your CD using your CD
burning software.

If that doesn't fly, you may need to do some links surgery; get back with us with
your results and we'll go from there, 'kay?
