How can I get my PowerPoint Show to automatically load and run once the CD it is saved on is inserted into the CD drive? I don't want to have to open the file from Windows Explorer or START, RUN, etc...... I am a novice at this.. Thanks, HJE
 
If you need to distribute it to other people, see:

[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the critical
update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

If you are using PowerPoint 2003, this capability is built into the product
(Package for CD command). This solution bundles the presentation and, by
default, all of it's supporting (linked) files as well as the new
PowerPoint Viewer 2003 to a CD so that when the CD is loaded on to a
supported system the presentation will be opened up automatically in the
Viewer. The same feature includes an option to Save to Folder instead of CD
so that you can create a portable, distributable folder which can be moved
to another system, server, etc.

If you are not using PowerPoint 2003 there are a variety manual (starting
with Package for CD) and 3rd party workarounds that I will leave to others
to suggest.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide additional options for distributing presentations in full fidelity,
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
