Packaging a series of PP presentations

[Dianne Aldridge]

I'm about to deliver a PP curriculum that I've developed consisting of
a main show linked to seven lesson shows. It is to be delivered via CD
in a computer lab by a Technology Specialist.
There are also a few external files included that are referenced in the
PP lessons - several .wmv files.

What is the best way to package this curriculum? Should I just put all
of the files on a CD and load up the main show, or is there a more
professional way to do it?

Thanks --

Dianne,

a more professional way would be

as this takes care of all the links files and makes the CD autorun

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked over the software, but it does not
support VBA or macros - I have both all through my presentations. Any
other package you could recommend?

Our software creates an autorun CD that always uses the Viewer, which is
contained on the CD. It's designed for distribution to unknown systems that may
or may not have the ability to play a PowerPoint presentation. If it is known
that the end user has PowerPoint installed and the file associations are not
contaminated, I think you could easily use launch.exe to launch a .PPS file from
an autorun CD. Windows should hand the file off to PowerPoint.
