I have Office XP and have installed the Power Point Viewer 2003. When I run
the pack and go wizard the include viewer is grayed out and won't let me
include it. The download now button points to a MS download which can't be
found. How can I use the 2003 viewer with XP pack and go?

thanks
Milton

Unfortunately you cant, you will need to find a link to the 97 viewer. his
one may still be live:

You have to do it manually. See http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd.htm (do
it yourself with the new Viewer).

Pack and Go expects to find the earlier PowerPoint 97/2000/2002 viewer; it
doesn't work with the newer viewer, and as you've found, MS has spirited away
the older viewer you need.

I'm betting that it's on your Office XP CD someplace, or that you can re-run
setup and opt to install the viewer. That's worth a try.
