Afte going to File and Package for CD - When I try to copy a
PowerPoint(2003) Slide show onto a CD RW disk, I get this message:
"The file cannot be copied because the CD is not writable. What do you
want to do?

Insert new CD or Cancel?"
Does this mean I can only use a CD R disk? I am trying to copy my slide
show as I am working on it and intend to add more data onto the disk. When I
use a CD R to cocopy my files, I need a new CD R each time I make changes to
my slide show. It becomes quite costly.
 
Don't copy to the CD. Save to the hard drive, then use your CD burning
software to put the file on the CD.
 
[CRITICAL UPDATE - Anyone using Office 2003 should install the Critical
Update or Service Pack 1 for Office 2003 as soon as possible. From
PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for Updates".]

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

If you have a Windows XP IMAPI (Image Mastering API) compliant CD burner,
it should work from within PowerPoint the same as it does from Windows
Explorer when using the "Copy to CD" Picture Task when viewing contents of
the My Pictures folder. If it does work from Windows Explorer it won't work
from PowerPoint's Package for CD feature when choosing the option to Copy
to CD instead of Copy to Folder.

IMPORTANT: On some systems, installing Service Pack 2 (SP-2) for Windows XP
can prevent this from working. If it worked before installing SP-2 but
does not work now that you're installed SP-2, there is a Windows hotfix
available for IMAPI which might address the problem:

I have the same situation as Burnaby and I tried your suggestion to Copy to a
Folder and then copy folder to a CD but when I check the CD it doesn't
display just the Slideshow. It shows my Powerpoint working file with access
to all my other files! Please advise.

What do you mean, "access to all your other files"? What all got copied to
the CD?

Look here to see what files you should have in the "copy to folder" folder.
http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd2.htm You should have pptview.EXE, your
PPT file, any collateral linked files (such as MP3s or possibly even Word or
Excel documents if they were linked to your PPT file), and a few DLLs and an
INF and such.

Do not burn the folder itself to the CD, burn the *contents* of the folder
to the CD. That is, all the files in the folder should be burned "loose" on
the CD.

Doing this should autorun your presentation from the CD using the PPT
Viewer. But it doesn't prevent someone from opening your PPT file by opening
full PPT on their system and navigating to your PPT file on the CD. You can
apply a modify password to the file if you don't want people changing it,
but if you want them to be able to view the presentation in the Viewer, then
they'll also be able to open the file -- at least as a read-only copy -- and
see how it was put together. You can save the PPT file as a PPS file if you
want, but that doesn't prevent someone from opening it from the full PPT
program, either.

Somehow reading all the other responses since I wrote my question I came up
with a file--a single file that when opened opens directly into the Slide
Show. I just don't know "which" procedure was the successful one!!??? I
will redo my copying trying the "contents only" tip again and see....
I did take the "successful" CD to a genealogy group today who have do not
have Dell but have Windows etc. and everything came up but the sound was too
low and he was unable to get the volume higher with his system?
To answer your question, "which files?" the "unsuccessful" copy comes up
with all the file choices (you listed) and when you click on the Presentation
a file pops up with my "whole" Powerpoint file screen---NOT Just the Slide
Show. I was able to go to File and click Open and up popped all my Documents
etc.!!!
So in conclusion: I guess I'm on the right track but I've got to retrace my
steps. What do you think about the "volume" problem ? And #2 when you say
"burn" you don't mean format? I've tried to look for what "burning" program
I have and it's not clear. I know when I put in a blank disc I HAVE to
format it. When I put in a Formated disc up pops a MS window asking me
choices about ....stuff and mentions "burning" but I didn't know which choice
to pick.....

Melissa Claire said:
Somehow reading all the other responses since I wrote my question I came
up
with a file--a single file that when opened opens directly into the Slide
Show.

A PPS file opens directly in slide show view. A PPS is identical to a PPT
file -- except the PPS opens in slide show view, and the PPT opens in
editing view.

Now, just to complicate the explanation a wee little bit...

PowerPoint -- the full program -- allows you to edit PPT and PPS files. If
you double-click a PPT file in Windows Explorer, more than likely it will
open in PowerPoint, if PowerPoint is installed on the computer. And it will
open in normal editing view, which means you will see toolbars and all that.

If you double-click a PPS file, it will open in slide show view and so you
won't see the toolbars.

If you open PowerPoint and then go to File|Open, you can open both PPT and
PPS files. They will both open in normal editing view, so you will see
toolbars.

Now, having said that, there's also a PowerPoint Viewer, which will disply
PPT and PPS files. The Viewer ONLY lets you *view* files, though -- it
doesn't allow you to edit files. Therefore, when you use the Viewer to open
either a PPT or a PPS file, they will be in slide show view no matter what.
Because there *is* no normal editing view in the Viewer. Make sense?
I just don't know "which" procedure was the successful one!!???

Probably you either renamed your PPT file to have a PPS extension (you must
have turned off Windows' Hide Extensions option in order for this to work).
Or you opened the PPT file and did a File|Save As and chose "powerpoint show
*.PPS" from the "save as type" dropdown. This is the most reliable way to
make a PPS file out of your PPT, so it's what I'd recommend that you use.

Note that a PPS file still needs either PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer
to run. If the computer has neither, the PPS won't do anything. (Oh, I
suppose it might open in a browser, but let's ignore that, shall we?)
will redo my copying trying the "contents only" tip again and see....
I did take the "successful" CD to a genealogy group today who have do not
have Dell but have Windows etc. and everything came up but the sound was
too
low and he was unable to get the volume higher with his system?

I don't know what Dell has to do with it, but there are quite a few places
that control volume on various systems. You might want to check the computer
mfg's website to see where all you can change volume.
To answer your question, "which files?" the "unsuccessful" copy comes up
with all the file choices (you listed) and when you click on the
Presentation
a file pops up with my "whole" Powerpoint file screen---NOT Just the
Slide
Show. I was able to go to File and click Open and up popped all my
Documents
etc.!!!

Okay, here's the deal. When you use package for CD and put the contents on
the CD, you have two files in there -- an autorun.inf file and a play.bat
file. These autorun the CD. What they do is run the Viewer and then tell the
Viewer to open the presentation file (PPT or PPS file, doesn't matter
which). Remember, since the Viewer doesn't have an editing mode, it always
opens PPT and PPS files in slide show view.

Now, if you bypass the Viewer and just double-click the PPT or PPS file on
the CD (or even on your harddrive), PowerPoint (the full program) is going
to open the file (if, of course, PowerPoint has been installed on the
computer). If PowerPoint opens a PPT file, it's going to open in normal
editing view.

So that's what's happening. You're bypassing the Viewer when you
double-click the PPT file, and that's why you can click File|Open and see
all your documents. If you don't want to let the CD autorun, then you have
to double-click pptview.exe to open the Viewer and then go to File|Open and
choose your PPT or PPS file.
Show. I was able to go to File and click Open and up popped all my
Documents
etc.!!!

I'm still just a wee bit concerned that you copied your whole "my documents"
folder to the CD or something.

I'm assuming that when you took the CD to your group, you were not playing
it on your own computer then. So when you double-clicked the PPT file and it
opened in PowerPoint (full program which had been installed on their
computer) and you went to File|Open, the only documents of yours you should
have seen were the PPT file, the pptview.exe file, the INF/BAT files, and
the various DLLs on the CD. If you saw more of your own files than that,
then you burned way too much to the CD!
So in conclusion: I guess I'm on the right track but I've got to retrace
my
steps. What do you think about the "volume" problem ? And #2 when you
say
"burn" you don't mean format? I've tried to look for what "burning"

format it. When I put in a Formated disc up pops a MS window asking me
choices about ....stuff and mentions "burning" but I didn't know which
choice
to pick.....

I don't know about the volume issue. I'd say you need to test it on some
other computers to determine if it's an issue with the presentation or with
the person's computer.

As for "burn," when you burn a CD, you're creating a CD using software such
as Nero or Roxio (Easy CD Creator) or even Windows XP (which can burn CDs).
You're creating a data CD. It's not the same as formatting a CD -- in fact,
I don't think I've ever formatted a CD. If you're getting a message window
with "stuff that mentions burning" but you don't know what to pick, then
you're going to have to tell us what choices you actually see if you want
advice on what to choose.
 
I love love love pps! It's exactly what I want and the PPt Viewer you spoke
of comes up first and asks for permission etc.
There is a wierd MS dialogue box that comes up on occasion when I first
insert a disc (formated or not) and it has various burning choices for Music
etc. and there is one choice that says, "Copy to Writeable Folder" or the
like which I tried...maybe that was the ticket?
The other wierd thing I did was drag a Presentation folder to the "My
Computer" page with my "virgin CD" sitting there in [E]...maybe that was it?
Too bad if it was though I'm not sure I could pull that off twice!
Is there a way to COPY the "successfully done pps" C.D. to another C.D. (in
ad litum) and what do you think might have happened to the sound on the
"target" computer?

Perfect. That's exactly what is supposed to happen. Don't panic if you don't
see a screen asking for permission -- that only means the Viewer has been
previously given permission to run. That license agreement should only
happen once on each computer, the first time the Viewer is ever run.

etc. and there is one choice that says, "Copy to Writeable Folder" or the
like which I tried...maybe that was the ticket?

Okay, this helps a bit. Copy to Writeable Folder sounds reasonable. I think
you'll want to do that, then drag the contents of the "package for CD
folder" to the writeable folder and then click an option to "write to CD."

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/bridgman_august13.mspx
has better instructions. I think this might be what you're seeing and might
help explain what you should do.
The other wierd thing I did was drag a Presentation folder to the "My
Computer" page with my "virgin CD" sitting there in [E]...maybe that was
it?

I suspect this will probably work also, but you would want to drag the files
inside the folder to that drive, not the entire folder itself.

See, when you put your CD in the drive, Windows will look for an autorun.inf
or play.bat to tell it what to do. If those files are inside a folder on the
CD, Windows won't know to look there. So you need to have those files just
on the CD, not inside a folder on the CD.

So when you drag a folder to the CD drive, I think the folder structer is
mantained, so your INF and BAT files will be inside the folder. That's not
what you want.
Too bad if it was though I'm not sure I could pull that off twice!

LOL! Sure you could!

However, I have to say that a lot of software allows you to drag-and-drop
files to CD so it acts basically like another drive, and I don't trust that
at all. We've seen a lot of reports in this newsgroup about PPT files
especially becoming corrupt when dragged and dropped to CDs like that. So
I'd stick to the true "burning" process ("Write these files to CD") to
create your CDs.

So even though I'm confident you could do this again, I don't know that I'd
recommend it. But I don't know for sure -- maybe Windows XP pops up its
"write to CD" process when you drag and drop files to the CD drive. I just
don't use WinXP's CD burning, so I really don't know that much about it.
Is there a way to COPY the "successfully done pps" C.D. to another C.D.
(in
ad litum)

I don't know if Windows XP's CD burning capabilities extend this far. I
don't think they do. I think to copy a CD you'd need some true CD burning
software.

However, it shouldn't be hard to copy all the files off a successful CD onto
a folder on, say, your C drive, and then drag those files (remember, not the
folder itself) onto the WinXP CD burning folder to burn a new one. I think
once you wrap your head around how WinXP's CD burning works, you'll probably
be okay.
and what do you think might have happened to the sound on the
"target" computer?

Well, as I said before, I don't know. If it's just low volume, it could be
an issue with the target computer. Is it loud enough on yours when you test
the CD on your system? Is there another system you can try it on to make
sure it's not an issue with the sound in the presentation file?

If it's an issue with the sound being played through PPT, you might have to
use some sound editing software to bump up the volume. But before going to
that trouble, you should test on at least a couple of different computers.
 
As a footnote: I did as you suggested. I went to my PPt program, went to
file and save as and found PPt Slide Show in the pulldown list!!! and wha-la!
I now have a pps CD that I know what I did to get it!!!
Wow! Roger on the "sound" advise I'm pretty sure it's the target I was
using. I will keep trying. Thanks for all the great advise!!! Have a good
weekend! Ta! Ta!

Look here to see what files you should have in the "copy to folder" folder.
http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd2.htm You should have pptview.EXE, your
PPT file, any collateral linked files (such as MP3s or possibly even Word or
Excel documents if they were linked to your PPT file), and a few DLLs and an
INF and such.

Do not burn the folder itself to the CD, burn the *contents* of the folder
to the CD. That is, all the files in the folder should be burned "loose" on
the CD.

Doing this should autorun your presentation from the CD using the PPT
Viewer. But it doesn't prevent someone from opening your PPT file by opening
full PPT on their system and navigating to your PPT file on the CD. You can
apply a modify password to the file if you don't want people changing it,
but if you want them to be able to view the presentation in the Viewer, then
they'll also be able to open the file -- at least as a read-only copy -- and
see how it was put together. You can save the PPT file as a PPS file if you
want, but that doesn't prevent someone from opening it from the full PPT

Don't know what CD burning software your using. The way I do it using Nero
is to select the create a data CD, navigate to the folder where all the

takes over from there.

Michael,
I will try using Nero. I have another question, In the list of files that I
should have, I do not have autorun.inf,play.bat,playlist.txt & pptview.exe. I
have autorun,play,playlist,pptview. mine do not show the extentions. is that
wrong?

Michael Koerner said:
Don't know what CD burning software your using. The way I do it using Nero
is to select the create a data CD, navigate to the folder where all the
files are located, select all the files, and drag them to the CD, and Nero
takes over from there.

Not wrong, just that your extensions are turned off by default by Microsoft.
You can turn on the extensions by going into Control Panel, Folder Options,
View, and remove the checkmark from "Hide extensions from known file types"

I see Michael's got you started. Follow his advice and holler back if it's
not working.

Oh, and make sure you burn a data CD when you burn it in Nero. Even if you
have music in the presentation, you still want a data CD, not an audio CD.

Echo S said:
What do you mean, "access to all your other files"? What all got copied

Look here to see what files you should have in the "copy to folder"
folder.
http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd2.htm You should have pptview.EXE,
your
PPT file, any collateral linked files (such as MP3s or possibly even Word
or
Excel documents if they were linked to your PPT file), and a few DLLs and
an
INF and such.

Do not burn the folder itself to the CD, burn the *contents* of the
folder
to the CD. That is, all the files in the folder should be burned "loose"
on
the CD.

Doing this should autorun your presentation from the CD using the PPT
Viewer. But it doesn't prevent someone from opening your PPT file by
opening
full PPT on their system and navigating to your PPT file on the CD. You
can
apply a modify password to the file if you don't want people changing it,
but if you want them to be able to view the presentation in the Viewer,
then
they'll also be able to open the file -- at least as a read-only copy --
and
see how it was put together. You can save the PPT file as a PPS file if
you
want, but that doesn't prevent someone from opening it from the full PPT
program, either.

Don't copy to the CD. Save to the hard drive, then use your CD burning
software to put the file on the CD.

Afte going to File and Package for CD - When I try to copy a
PowerPoint(2003) Slide show onto a CD RW disk, I get this message:
"The file cannot be copied because the CD is not writable. What do
you
want to do?

Insert new CD or Cancel?"
Does this mean I can only use a CD R disk? I am trying to copy my
slide
show as I am working on it and intend to add more data onto the
disk.
When I
use a CD R to cocopy my files, I need a new CD R each time I make
changes
to
my slide show. It becomes quite costly.
 
Thank you Michael!

Michael,
Thank you sooo much. I used Nero and it worked great. I have one more
problem. The slide show starts on the second slide. The first slide is the
title slide and has the music icon. I have 8 songs on my slide show so I
advanced to the slide where the second song would go on and it worked great.
I already have the "all slides" checked off in my presentation. Please help!

Not wrong, just that your extensions are turned off by default by Microsoft.
You can turn on the extensions by going into Control Panel, Folder Options,
View, and remove the checkmark from "Hide extensions from known file types"

I think this is what you're asking:

Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00047.htm

Basically, you need to go to the Custom Animation pane, select Effect
Options, and put 999 in the "stop playing after XXX slides" box.
