HELP!!!! powerpoint presentation....?

Question

I have to do a powerpoint presentation for my homeowork.
(I have powerpoint 2003 if this helps anyone!)
I have a few sound file inserted in the presentation. I am going to be presenting it on another computer and I've found out that when i sent it to my email, and opened it on the other computer then the sound doesn't work because the sound file isn't saved onto the actual computer.
Is there any way in me being able to do this presentation with the sound, on the other computer without me having to download the songs onto that computer.
Will a floppy disk work? I've tried a memory stick (hub, dongle what ever u want to call it!) but it says the same thing.
i've heard something about link/embed files or something but i don't really get it.
Please someone help!!!!!!

hi thankyou everyone
u don't know how crazy i was going!
so what kind of cd will i need??

Answer 1

Hi - you are correct, embedding the files instead of linking them would solve your problem... however, a short cut (as you have already created the presentation) is to use the "package for CD" option from the file menu.

This option in 2003 will package up your presentation along with all linked files into one package that you can then transfer to another computer... see the help menu for support on how to use this.

Answer 2

Applies to
Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2003

One question you've been asking is, "Where is Pack and Go in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003?" This feature has been enhanced and renamed Package for CD.

Now, when you quickly copy your presentation along with any supporting files to a disk or network location, the Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer is included by default. (That way the PowerPoint Viewer will be available to run the packaged presentations on another computer even if PowerPoint is not installed.)

Or, if you are using Microsoft Windows XP or later and have a CD burning program, you can copy the presentation and supporting files onto a CD.

Answer 3

If I comprehend what you're saying....once you run PowerPoint, a presentation starts immediately and you like that to end and only run PowerPoint "in many cases" - real??? If it is so, then there would desire to have been a startup change set on your PowerPoint application record. working example,if the /S change is used, the named record opens in slide instruct mode immediately - working example: "C:application FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11POWERPNT.EXE" /S "C:records and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsneon.ppt" With this in the objective field on the Shortcut tab in the shortcut icon's residences, the "neon.ppt" record might open immediately in slide instruct mode as quickly as I double-click the icon. final analysis, i assume, is to examine the shortcut you're employing to run PowerPoint and verify there are no switches after the POWERPNT.EXE.

Answer 4

You need to copy the songs on to the dongle or other storage media just as you copied the presentation, and make sure that the presentation is 'pointing' to the files correctly so that they cue in on time.

This is not dificult, but you must make sure that you have all the files associated with your presentation, including pictures, sounds and clipart, or your presentation won't work.

Answer 5

When you have finished go to File/Package for CD and follow prompts, it will save anything req'd
