MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / October 2007Packaging Presentation to CD
I am trying to package a presentation to cd and when I insert a CD-RW I get a message "the cd is not writable" It is a brand new CD-RW that has never been recorded on. I am able to record audio files with WMP without a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions > I am trying to package a presentation to cd and when I insert a CD-RW I get a > message "the cd is not writable" It is a brand new CD-RW that has never been > recorded on.

The best bet then is to package to a folder then use your regular CD-burning software to burn the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to CD ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ tried that and the cd does not play automatically. I am going to go buy some CD-R and not CD-RW and see if that makes a difference. Thanks > > No, Just the one. When working in Power Point, is does not recognize the > > disc as being readable.
