I am trying to make a CD to give to clients with a PP
presentation on it. I have read the instructions, and
when I try to package the CD I get to the part of the
wizard where it asks me to download the viewer. When I
click on the button, the MS page it takes me to cannot
find the file. I searched through the site and found the
new 2003 viewer and downloaded it to my computer. Now,
when I run the Pack and Go wizard, it still doesn't see
the viewer installed on my computer. I cannot get past
this point of the wizard without including the PP viewer.
Any suggestions?

Pack and Go won't use the new PPT Viewer, Bruce, as Pack and Go predates
that Viewer by a number of years.

You'd need to use the old Viewer to do the Pack and Go thing. PPT 2003
leverages that new Viewer using something called "Package for CD."

To use the new Viewer in the same way without the actual "Package for
CD" feature, I believe you need to include on the CD the 7 (?) files the
Viewer installs along with all your presentation files and other linked
files. But you will want to make sure all your linked files are in the
same folder with your presentation file, as you don't have the "Package
for CD" thing available to help resolve those links.

You can download the old Viewer at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8E-5513-46C4-AA4F-058A84A37DF1&displaylang=EN

Download it and install it, then try the Pack and Go again.
