[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 had been using PowerPoint 2003, this capability to prevent this from
happening is built into the product (Package for CD command). This solution
bundles the presentation and, by default, all of it's supporting (linked)
files (movies are always linked) for burning to CD.

For customers not using PowerPoint 2003 there are a variety manual
workarounds (usually involving multiple steps starting with 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 saving presentations to removable drives,
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

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