Packaging a PowerPoint File

If you want to deliver a PowerPoint presentation on a computer that does not have the PowerPoint software, you can package the presentation, inlcuding the PowerPoint viewer. The Viewer allows you to display a presentation, but not to edit it.

Packaging a presenation is simplified with a Wizard. Follow these steps to use it:

1. Open the presentation you want to package.
2. If you want to copy your packaged presentation to a floppy disk, insert the disk.
3. From the File menu, select Pack and Go. A wizard opens, which takes you through several steps.




4. Select the appropriate options on each screen, then click Next.
5. If you want to include multiple presentations in one package, select the Other presentation(s) check box when prompted, click Browse, and then select the presentations you want.
6. On the fifth screen of the wizard, select the Viewer for Microsoft Windows option. If you do not have the PowerPoint viewer installed on your computer, the Wizard will direct you to download it before completing this screen.




7. On the last screen, click Finish.
