Auto Start from a CD Cross Platform

[JasonG]

I have a PPT presentation that I am sending out to prospective employeers and
I need it to auto start once it is double clicked. I do not want it to open
in PowerPoint.

I need this to happen on a MAC and on a PC. I have both viewers downloaded.
Do I need to write a macro for this, if so how? I am not that adept in
doing that.

Thank you in advance,
Jase

For the PC, you'd rename the file with a PPS extension. Unless you're
distributing with an autorun CD, and then you don't have to. But there's
more to creating an autorun CD than just downloading the Viewers....

I am a little disturbed after following the

I can only see links to pornographic sites. I had not registered with
your site and have only done so hoping that this url will be removed.

That is an old link to Shawn's site. He has since moved it. Try this link:
