Over the last 18 months I have made several power point presentations of, for example, work from exhibitions I've visited and other learners' work. I've used them in class and they've made a very useful addition to resources I take in.
I've come across a problem which I'm wondering if anyone can advise me on and help me solve. When I copy the Power Point to a CD and try to watch it on another computer, I am told "Power Point can't read XXX (name of presentation)." This didn't happen when I used the AdEd lap top I used before last summer - it was replaced because it had no firewall in place.
I still feel new to using technology and there's oh so much to learn! I'd hoped to give some CDs to friends, but don't want to give them power point presentations that they can't read.
Any suggestions?

Lizzie, when you write the CD, are you "finalising" it?
When you have finished copying whatever you want to put on it, you need to right click on the filename and click on the option to finalize. A box comes up with something about then being able to use it on other computers.
If you are doing that already, I'm not sure I have any other ideas - but I'll ask my tech suppport if he has ideas too.
Thanks Gill, I'm away for a couple of days and will give that a try when I'm back.
Does the computer/laptop you are trying to play it on have Powerpoint software? The newer Microsoft Office packages do not come with POwerpoint. You may need to purchase Powerpoint viewer if you do not want to go to purchasing the full capability of PP. Maggie
