When you want to run a presentation on another computer, use the Pack and Go Wizard to put all the required files into one file and copy the file to a disk or network location. You then unpackage the file onto the destination computer or network and run the presentation.
When you package your presentation, you can include any linked files in the package, and if you use TrueType fonts you can embed them as well. Embedding fonts guarantees that the fonts will be available when you run the presentation on a different computer. (However, note that the wizard cannot include TrueType fonts that have built-in copyright restrictions.)
If you make changes to your presentation after you package it, just run the Pack and Go Wizard again to repackage it. You can package multiple presentations at once.
When you use the Pack and Go Wizard, you have the option of including the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer in the package. Include the viewer if you will be running the presentation on a computer that doesn't have Microsoft PowerPoint installed. The viewer enables you to run the presentation in PowerPoint format.
To package the viewer, you must first have it installed on your computer. You can install it by using a link from the Pack and Go Wizard, after which you can package it with your presentation. If you just want to install the viewer, you can do so directly from the Microsoft Office Web site.
The viewer is not available in the Pack and Go Wizard if you're packaging password-protected presentations; these cannot be run using the viewer.
