Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / February 2005PP 2004 Viewer
Hi, Can I create a PP 2004 presentation and package it on a CD to be played on PC's and Mac's that don't have PP installed? TIA Sure, you can include the PowerPoint Viewer. You can find links to the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer for Windows and the PowerPoint 98 Viewer for Mac here. <http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00153.htm> Be warned that the Mac viewer doesn't support a lot of the new features in PowerPoint, so the presentation might not look right there. You should use the Compatibility Report feature in the Tools menu to see what kind of incompatibilities you would be dealing with.

PCs won't typically have QuickTime installed though. But if the CD is autostart for PCs, it could include the Viewer and launch that automatically; it could include instructions to launch the QT movie version if on a Mac ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Many thanks for your help much appreciated :-) Be warned though, that the Viewer for Mac will only run if the machine has OS 9 installed (for the Classic environment or natively). There's no way to run it if the user has only OS X.
