Used to be able to Pack & Go a presentation to send to someone who didn't
have PowerPoint on their machine. Does anyone know how to do it in PP 2007?

I am a newbie but I think I have read somewhere that the recipient would
need to download PPT.2007 viewer. Sure someone will be along soon to help if
this is not correct.

Hi andamac

It's now under office button -> publish -> package for cd - it will
automatically add the popwerpoint viewer to the cd for you. Please be aware
that the viewer doesn't support smart art animations or code.

I downloaded and installed iSpring Pro the other day from giveawayoftheday.com. It is supposed to handle ALL of
PowerPoint 2007's transitions and animation effects by changing everything to a Flash presentation. I haven't tried it
yet with PPT 2007. You might want to look at it. Everything is packaged complete with a viewer/presenter so you can
get away from Microsoft's Pack-and-Go weaknesses / nonsense.

Your answer may be to do that OR -as suggested- do a pack-and-go with the PowerPoint 2007 viewer as part of the pack so
that you preserve all of the animations and transitions.
