Viewing powerpoint presentations

[rpscott]

I created a presentation on Powerpoint (office 2003 version) and I want my
audience to be able to view it whenever they want. The plan was to save it on
CD and have them view it on their computer. I used somje features on this
slide show that arent available on previous versions. They do not have office
2003 and I'd like to know if they will be able to view it. If not, is there
any way? Thank you.

You will need to include the PPT 2003 viewer on the CD and run the
presentation from there. the viewer is a free download from MS.

You can include the 2003 Viewer on your CD, and they should be able to
see all the 2003 features. Otherwise, you will have to disable the new
features of PowerPoint (Tools > Options > Edit > Disable New Features).

There is a free powerpoint viewer that will show your powerpoint 2003
presentations with most of the new features.

If you want to go the extra distance, then making it "autorun" finishes it
off nicely

What everyone else said, and

if you have PPT 2003, you can just use File/Package for CD. I recommend that
rather than using Copy to CD to burn directly to CD, you instead choose Copy
to Folder and then burn the *contents* of the folder to a blank CD.
