Save a Powerpoint so any computer can open it?

[ribbons]

My dad mentioned that you can save a presentation so that any computer would
be able to paly it. Supposedly you would save a skeloton version of
Powerpoint with the file so that when the presentation opened it would run
powerpoint and show it. Is this possiable with office powerpoint 2003 and if
so, how do you do it?

To playback a powerpoint presentation you need either

A) Powerpoint full version
B) The free powerpoint viewer

This is correct. PowerPoint 2003 comes with an option called "Package for
CD" that will help you pack your presentation for distribution. This option
is available in the File menu. You can find more details at
