package to cd and autostart problem

[verizon news groups]

I have two questions:

1. I have packaged for a CD a ppt2007 presentation (for a kiosk) which I
would like to start running automatically when the cd is inserted by users
who may not have ppt. I have followed all the package instructions but when
I insert the CD, I get a window asking me to open the folder. How can I get
the auto play to work?

2. The ppt2007 also uses macros. Even though it is designed to run at a
kiosk, I would like the user to interface with the presentation; some of the
interface hyperlinks are macros. When I packaged my show I received a
warning that macros do not work in ppt viewer. Is there a solution?

Thanks a lot.

1. Use the package to CD copy to folder option, make sure to include the
viewer, then copy (burn) all the files created to your CD

2. Macros do not work in any version of the viewer. AFAIK, there is no work
around.

Thank you both for your answers; I will look into doing away with the
macros.
