Viewing Presentation without PowerPoint Installed!



Hello Everyone

Here is a little dose of PowerPoint for you!

You have created a PowerPoint presentation and are about to send it to someone and then you wonder does the other person have the same version of PowerPoint or have PowerPoint Installed at all on their computer.

In PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 their is a feature called Package for CD that allows you to save your PowerPoint file/s in such a way that they can be viewed by anyone even if they don't have PowerPoint Installed on their computers. This works on tehir computer because this feature installs a small program called PPT Viewer on the same location.

Please follow these steps:
  • Create your presentation and save it with an appropriate name
  • Choose Office Button > Publish > Package for CD

  • Choose the files that you'd like to add to the CD by Pressing Add Files... Button


  • If you want to change any further options such as Letting the user decide which presentation to play, keeping the linked files, or even setting Passwords for opening and modifying files then press the options button. once you have finished with the options then press OK button to return back to the Package for CD dialog box

  • If you have a Blank CD and a CD Writer attached to your computer you can press the Copy to CD or if you wish to do that later then you can press Copy to Folder which then can be copied on to a CD at a later stage.

If you liked the Starter and have a big appetite for the Main course then visit the Mouse Training Website that has various POWERPOINT FREE COURSE MANUALS including these topics and many more for not only PowerPoint but also for other MS Office packages such as Excel, Word, Publisher, Project, VBA, etc...

Hope you found the post to be beneficial. Don't forget to visit to see another topic in PowerPoint
