PowerPoint Autorun Creator

Features:

Automatically creates complete CD image containing all files, parameters etc.

Creates Autorun CD which will work on any computer system

Users do not require to have PowerPoint installed to view CD contents

Nothing installed on user's computer

CD will run automatically even if 'autorun' has been disabled

Simple interface guides you through whole process

Features opportunities to easily incorporate linked files, preview final CD and update projects

This software was developed in response to a need I had to create an
autorun CD from a PowerPoint presentation. After a search on the
Internet I was astonished to discover (a) how few utilities were
available to create such a resource and (b) how expensive these
utilities were.

This program makes the whole process so easy that after opening it,
without typing anything, nine clicks is all that is needed to name
your project, specify a location, choose the required PowerPoint
presentation and complete the CD image. Many more choices are
available to the user.

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PPT 2003
that you just created in PPT 2003? -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=329820]

Hello,

If you are using PowerPoint 2003, this capability is built into the product
(Package for CD command). This solution bundles the presentation and, by
default, all of it's supporting (linked) files as well as the new
PowerPoint Viewer 2003 to a CD so that when the CD is loaded on to a
supported system the presentation will be opened up automatically in
PowerPoint Viewer 2003. The same feature includes an option to Save to
Folder instead of CD so that you can create a portable, distributable
folder which can be moved to another system, server, etc.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide additional options for distributing presentations in full fidelity,
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

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).
