I am having trouble saving a presentationt to a cd. I put in a 700mb disk
and tried to save a 139mb presentation. I got an error message that says
there is not enough room on the disk.

The presentation may have linked video and sound that also need to fit on the
CD. In fact, at that size, it probably does.

Don't try to save directly to a CD. Use a CD burner program to copy your
data to the disk

It does have linked audio files. Does that change how I should save or burn
it?

Try using Package for CD. That will package up your files and linked files,
too, and save them to the CD or to a folder. You can opt to include the PPT
Viewer, in which case you'll end up with an autorun CD.

I recommend using Package for CD and then choosing the "copy to folder"
option. Then use your CD burning software to burn the contents of the folder
to the CD (not the folder itself). This is more reliable than saving or
packaging directly to CD.

In addition to Echo's excellent advice, make sure that the audio files are in
the same folder as your presentation, before you link them to the
presentation file, and that they stay there when you save, and use the
Package for CD feature.

That's actually one reason I suggested Package for CD -- it resolves those
links for you. (Although I definitely agree that, as a best practice, it's
good to work with all your stuff -- PPT files and collateral -- in one
folder.)
