Ahh, interesting. There are a number of users clamoring for PPT to have the ability to create a single EXE file. Pack and Go comes close, but there are two files necessary, not just one. And you are indeed correct, Vic, that the Viewer is old and does not support the new PPT XP features, nor does it support PPT 2000 features. Those include picture bullets, animated GIF, etc. If anyone needs a full list, holler and I can post one. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "vic" <vaf@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 3:31 PM Subject: [mso] Re: powerpoint and a note for Vic > What my exe does is automate the whole thing.
