Powerpoint Question

Post by dj_tigger1982 »

Hey all, I have a quick question about power point.

What I am doing is this,

I have created a powerpoint presentation, looks very good, but i need to present it in a room that does not have a PC, but it has a DVD player that can play vcd's and stuff like that.

What I was wondering if there was any way of saving the presentation (with auto timer so that it automatically changes after a certin time ) and burning it onto a CD to then be played throu the DVD player.

If anyone can help on thie it would be great , or alterntivly tell me another programme that could do this or would allow me to burn it to a cd.

cheers
Mike

Mine claims it can. Never tried it and don't intend to anytime soon.

Well, I know the timer part is nothing. And I would think you should be able to do so. But I haven't tried it. All of my computers have office on them. So I can't really say for sure. Wait, I just put a new rig up a while back and never installed office on it. I'll try one of the presentations and get back to you about it.

What version of PowerPoint are you working in? MS has a plug in for making ppt viewable through web browser on demand. You can read more about it here........
