Hello,

Since 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.

For customers not using PowerPoint 2003 there are a variety manual
workarounds (usually starting with using the Pack and Go feature) 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:

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).
