Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / February 2008Create a CD from a PowerPoint presentation
Hello, It´s there any way to create a CD from a PowerPoint Presentation as there is in the Windows version? Thanks, Carlos Lasala No, there is not a built in assistant comparable to the wizard included with the Windows version of PowerPoint. However, you can choose to save the presentation as a "PowerPoint Package" (within the "Save As" box). Then, you can burn the generated folder to a CD using the OS CD burning mechanism or some other software you'd like.

There's a bug in that the movie that is created is not recognized by iMovie or iDVD, so you have to open the movie in QuickTime Pro ($30 from Apple) and then export the QuickTime Movie as a QuickTime movie. Then you can import the movie into iMovie for further polishing or right into iDVD. In iDVD click the Burn button. -Jim Quoting from "Carlos Lasala Sutil" <clasala@cantv.net>, in article C32F0AB5.608%clasala@cantv.net, on [DATE: > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Carlos Lasala SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ hi is there anyway to force powerpoint to save the package as a .ppt file? it currently uses .pptx whenever i save as a package and i fear that the recipient will not be able to open the file. it also doesnt include a viewer unlike powerpoint 2007 for windows. what should i do?

Hi Daniel, Good point. It appears you will have to do manually what Save As PowerPoint Package does automatically. First, Make an empty folder. Next, Make copies of the medial that is linked within your presentation Next, Save a copy of the presentation into the folder as a .ppt format file Next, Remove all media links and re-insert the media Next, hope that when you save the presentation (keeping the format as PPT) that powerpoint doesn't screw up the links. Note: You can tell PowerPoint to always use PPT by going to the Preferences and click on the Save button. There's a toggle for the default format in the middle of the box. If the above steps don't work, then you will need Office 2004. Free programs that play PowerPoint presentations: OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/ And NeoOffice http://www.neooffice.org/ -Jim SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Hi Jim - <snip> On 2/16/08 10:50 PM, in article C3DD1938.29880%goldkey74@WarmerThanWarmMail.com, "Jim Gordon MVP" <goldkey74@WarmerThanWarmMail.com> wrote: > It appears you will have to do manually what Save As PowerPoint Package does > automatically. <snip> Even if you set the default save format PowerPoint> Preferences> Save for 97-2004 before packaging? - I haven't tried it, just asking:-) Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac Quoting from "CyberTaz" <onlygeneraltaz1@com.cast.net>, in article C3DDB605.32DE0%onlygeneraltaz1@com.cast.net, on [DATE: > Hi Jim - > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Bob Jones > [MVP] Office:Mac Hi, Even if you set the default to .ppt when you save as PowerPoint package in 2008 the presentation in the folder is .pptx -Jim SignatureJim Gordon Mac MVP MVPs are not Microsoft Employees MVP info http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ > It appears you will have to do manually what Save As PowerPoint Package does > automatically.

Slightly different approach to address that last: Make empty folder Package to it, allowing PPT to save as PPTX It should also move all needed media/linked files there and correct the links Now open the newly saved PPTX file and save it as a PPT. IOW, let it fix the links by packaging as PPTX to the new folder, and only then convert to PPT. ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Quoting from "Steve Rindsberg" <abuse@localhost.com>, in article VA.00003d8a.1af0d6f1@localhost.com, on [DATE: >> It appears you will have to do manually what Save As PowerPoint Package does >> automatically.

Heh ... when has PowerPoint *ever* offered that guarantee? <g> ================================================ Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Using 2004... I've placed everything in one folder. I've checked my links. I've tried Save As PowerPoint Package. The main PPT links to a number of student PPTs. Only a few of them show up in the "package" after the save, and only those few are "found" when I try to show the linked PPTs Any suggestions? When I look at the "links" CMD-K, I can see that the "missing" still have the original links, rather than the "package links" > Using 2004... I've placed everything in one folder.

I haven't tested them under Mac PPT but I think they'll generally work. If not, give me a shout.
