Package to CD-RW

PowerPoint Pro 2003; Package to CD option; used to work on CD-RW, but now
only on CD-R; Others have had this problem. I have seen solutions that go
around the problem, but no one is correcting the problem. I reinstalled
PowerPoint 2003, but to no avail; must be a Windows XP Home Edition glitch. I
don't want an alternative, I want the program option to work as it used to
and how it says it is supposed to in the PowerPoint Help Section, where it
plainly says that CD-Rw or CD-R can be used. Anyone? Please, thanks.

I don't know the "direct" solution, and to be honest, I don't believe that
packaging directly to CD is a good idea anyway. So the "workaround" to
package to a folder on the harddrive and then use Windows XP's CD burning
capability (or software specifically for burning CDs) is my preferred method.

Hi Sonia! Thanks for replying. Also thanks to Echo and Steve). No, not
running Roxio. Until recently, i have been able to use CD-RW with Package to
CD option in PPT 2003. Now it only works with CD-R. I can work around this,
but it irritates me when a function doesn't function. I have made no changes
to my PC, but I lost this option. I thought it may be a problem with my
computer, but it seems as though others have the same problem. Do I need a
patch or something from Microsoft? What about Brother Steve's question about
formatting? What's that all about? Thanks to all and God bless.

Well, I never dare speak for "Brother Steve", but it's possible that the CD-RW
you are inserting has previously been written to. I believe he was asking
whether you had tried a "fresh out of the box" crisp new disk. I was really
asking a similar question because in my experience the Drag to Disk module from
Roxio made my CD unusable in other software. Apparently it writes some
proprietary header info on a new disk when it is inserted in the drive.
