• If PowerPoint 2007 is already installed on the computer, PowerPoint Viewer is installed each time you use the Package a Presentation for CD feature in PowerPoint.

  To package a presentation for CD, do the following:

  1. In PowerPoint, open the presentation that you want to package.
  2. Click the Microsoft Office Button, point to the arrow next to Publish, and then click Package for CD.
