[fltpro]

to reset the slide) and when I go to the final of package for CD.......Yep I
get a message that macros can not be used in package for CD.

Macros don't run in the PPT Viewer, which is what the Package for CD does --
packages the PPT file and all linked files and sets them up to play on the
CD from the PPT Viewer.

Michael mentioned using a blank slide to go back to to work around the issue
with the video not resetting. You'll need to do that if you're distributing
with the Viewer.

Yes, I tried the blank screen and for what ever reason, it dosen't reset the
screen in fact at times it just freezes. The macro does however work, when
not in PPT viewer mode.

You'll want to give the blank slide a 00-second automatic transition. That
will cause it to immediately move to the real slide.

I guess we'll have to work on figuring out the freezing issue, because the
macro simply will not work with the Viewer. So your choices are "Viewer + no
macro" or "no Viewer + macro."
