Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / June 2006PowerPoint Package
I am trying to save a powerpoint presentation in a package so i can burn it on a CD. However, when I do this, it leave 2 excel spreadsheets, 2 other powerpoint presentations, and 1 out of 7 PDFs out of the Package file. I am using both hyperlinks and action buttons in the presentation. How can I make sure all of my files link when creating a package?? Hi Ryan, The save as Package feature had some bugs in it that were repaired in updates. Are you using PowerPoint 2004 with the latest update installed? -Jim Gordon Mac MVP > I am trying to save a powerpoint presentation in a package so i can > burn it on a CD.

Yes, I have the Office 2004 for Mac most recent update (11.2.4). It appears that the issue is with underlined hyperlinks as opposed to action buttons. The links that are connected to the action buttons have all worked, but not the ones connected via hyperlinks. I figured out the pdf issue, but not the issue with the ppts and excel spreadsheets. Everything is linked from the same file, so I can't figure out why four of these file won't connect. Thanks again for your help. > Hi Ryan, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > the presentation. How can I make sure all of my files link when > > creating a package?? Hi again, I'm wondering if there is something unusual or in common about the file names or locations of the files to which you originally linked. Are the path names longer than 200 characters? Is there any non-text or non-numeric characters in any of the file path names to the content? Any extra dots in the file names? -Jim Gordon Mac MVP > Jim, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >>> the presentation. How can I make sure all of my files link when >>> creating a package?? Jim, Thanks again for your response. Actually, I changed the names and it didn't work for all the files. However, after packaging, I simply dragged the four files (2 power point and 2 excel) into the packaged file folder and it ran correctly. It's odd, but it worked. Perhaps because they're hyperlinked by their name, not location. Anyway, I appreciate your time and help with this! Thanks! > Hi again, > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > >>> the presentation.
