I used nero. it worked. However I did not get the first slide, which is the
title slide and the slide that I have the songs inserted. I have 8songs on
the slide show. I advanced to where the second song would start and it did
work. I have the "all slides" checked off in slide show. I also have "999"
in the custom animation section. Help.

| 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!

When you play the presentation on your computer before you use the package
for CD option, does it works Okay for you? If so, Go to the folder where
your package for CD copy to folder option placed the files, and run the
presentation from there and see if it works. there is no reason why the
first slide is not showing up, unless it is not there for some reason.

Michael,
The slide show plays all slides when I go in it from my documents and also
from the folder where pack/cd placed files. Also when I go into my slide
show from my documents and save it as a slide show(pps) it plays all slides.
It is when I burn it and put it in another computer that it does not work,.
I did notice one thing in my slide show. On the first slide there was a box
around the slide show number1. I right clicked it and saw "hide slide". I
unchecked it and the box around the number disappeared. I thought that was
the reason. So I saved it again. Went into package for cd, copy to folder.
And from there I burned in Nero. When I advance thru the slide show to where
the second song plays, it plays the music. I also put in a duplicate of
slide 1 and inserted music in the second slide(which was duplicate of first
slide) that also did not work. Any thoughts. thanks for your help

Something very wrong here. Before you get backed up with an unknown amount
of presentations and end up getting confused on which is which, I suggest
that you delete all the copies of your presentation but one even the one in
the folder wherever it is located from your package to folder.

Open the remaining presentation and go into Slide Sorter View. If any of
your slides are hidden, they will be displayed here like you say with a
number that is crossed out. If any are hidden, If there are more than one,
hold down your Ctrl key and click on the hidden slides. when they are all
selected, right click on one of the selected slides and select Hide slide.
this is a flip flop key and will unhide any hidden slides. Run you slide
show and see if everything is to your satisfaction. If so, then save your
presentation.

Now use your package to CD copy to folder option. When it is complete, run
your presentation from the copy to folder location, using the Viewer, just
to make sure that everything is OK. If it is then burn it to CD.

| Michael,
| The slide show plays all slides when I go in it from my documents and also
| from the folder where pack/cd placed files. Also when I go into my slide
| show from my documents and save it as a slide show(pps) it plays all
slides.
| It is when I burn it and put it in another computer that it does not
work,.
| I did notice one thing in my slide show. On the first slide there was a
box
| around the slide show number1. I right clicked it and saw "hide slide". I
| unchecked it and the box around the number disappeared. I thought that
was
| the reason. So I saved it again. Went into package for cd, copy to
folder.
| And from there I burned in Nero. When I advance thru the slide show to
where
| the second song plays, it plays the music. I also put in a duplicate of
| slide 1 and inserted music in the second slide(which was duplicate of
first
| slide) that also did not work. Any thoughts. thanks for your help

Hi Michael,
I did everything that I had done previously and this last presentation that
I burned played correctly in another computer. It looks like I finally got
it. I can't thank you enough for all of your help. Thank you echo also.

Glad to hear that everything finally worked out, and everything good to go.

Here is another little tidbit for future use. I have a folder on my computer
called ToCD. this is where I originally packaged my first presentation. Now
when I want to burn a CD with a new presentation. I just copy the
presentation to the ToCD folder, and change the name in the playlist.txt
file, then burn the CD

I have created a Powerpoint file with pictures of different artwork (each
item on a separate page) together with certain data associated with it; there
could be 4 or 5 photos for each piece. On each slide, I have linked (through
copy, paste special, link) certain other information including the
acquisition date, the cost, the last appraisal date, the appraisal amount,
the unrealized gain (calculated), etc.

In my ideal world, I would like to be able to print or present by slides
with or without this linked information. For example, I may wish to see the
linked information if I am discussing the value with my "mover" but if I am
sharing a certain type of art photos and information with a friend, I may not
care to share the dates or dollars and cents. I believe Powerpoint is my
best bet but am getting hung up on the presentation limitations - probably I
am just missing something obvious.

I have tried Access but it is not intended for large files including many
pictures, I have tried Word to accomplish this task but the math is so weak,
I have tried Excel but I cannot seem to lock a photo to a cell and frankly
one photo is not ample. Does anyone have any suggestions how I might go this
next step using Powerpoint?

I can't think of anything obvious that you're missing. PPT doesn't do this "out
of the box". Our free PPTools StarterSet add-in has a tool to make any selected
shapes invisible and I'm adding a new feature that'll turn all shapes visible
again. If you're interested, grab the free StarterSet at
http://www.pptools.com/starterset/ then email me at steve at-sign pptools dot
com for the update.
