Saving to CD

[Ted]

New member would like help. How do I save presentation (with all slides) to CD, and show on another computer? Tried all I can think of.

Fellow new member here - I created show, saved and then transferred file to CD like any other file/document. Tried on an alternative PC and everything OK

Hi Ted,

Welcome to the forum. There are two routes you can take. You can "create as...." and sellect your CD writer drive as the destination drive or a safer way is to "create as...." onto your hard drive and then copy to your CD from there.

Remember it's the .EXE file you must send to the CD via "Create/create as..." option in the file menu. The file you get when you use "save/save as..." is only a project file and cannot be used to show your sequence.

Enjoy your time with P2E,

Regards,

Alan

Of course you already have a CD -Burner and some CD-Discs ?

Begin by following Alan's comment about creating your slideshow to exe ... you have no need to copy any images or music individually ... as the exe contains everthing for your slide show to play.

What you do need if you want your slideshow to autoplay on CD insertion is to have a AUTORUN.INF file on the ROOT of the CD.

You will find all the needed info (and more so ) to create this autorun.inf, if you do a topic search in this forum ... as many beginners have had the same questions as you.

Its not that hard ... once you know what to do.

If you still have problems we will still be around to help.
