In PP 2003 when you used the pack and go for CD's the burned CD would 
outo-run, opening in FULL SCREEN, as soon as you popped it into the CD drive. 
 I can't seem to make the 2007 Package for CD act the same way.  Instead, 
when you pop the recorded CD into the drive it opens in the explorer window 
and you have to make a selection.  This does not work for my purposes.  I am 
using it as a handout/mailer and need it to run immediately.   Also, only a 
couple of the files actually burned to the CD.  It was a new CD-R.  I tried 
it on another cd from my new vist laptop and it copied ok but did not outrun. 
 ANy help would be appreciated.  See second post for another PP 2007 problem. 
 Thanks

It works the same way as 2003. Use the Publish option and select the copy to 
folder option, then burn all the created files to your CD

Thank you, I will try that.  I have been using the Publish option and 
selecting  the Copy to CD option, which I thought should accomplish the same 
thing with fewer steps.  Are you saying that the Copy to CD  does not work 
the same as copying to a folder?

To be honest, I have never used the copy to CD option direct. I've always 
used the copy to folder and then burnt the files to the CD. Only because 
I've heard  stories using just the copy to CD option where links break, and 
all files not copied to the CD

Ok . . . well that seems to be exactly what I am experiencing.  I will try

Yeah, what Michael said. It *should* work the same way -- it does in theory, 
anyway. But in practice, the CDs are often just not right. So I do like 
Michael does: I choose copy to folder, then I burn all the files in the 
folder to the CD using my CD burning software.

Ok . . . thanks.  I just walk back in the house and I am about to put it to 
the test.  Do you have any sugestions for my other post, 2 post above this 
one regarding music stopping in PowerPoint when I open a PDF file?  Thanks .

Michael,

First, thank you for trying to help.  Thought I would pass this on to you 
for reference.  I have tried every which way to write a CD in PP 2007 that 
opens immediately in full screen mode when you insert the CD.  I tried the 
method you mentioned and the results were the same.  When I ran the CD it 
opened in a file.  I had to click on the presentation and then it opened in 
PowerPoint instead of the full screen/viewer mode.  I tried it a couple of 
times, then tried writing to the CD again, without success.  In total 
frustration,  I installed my old PP 2003 disc and used it exactly as I had 
always done.  I used the package for CD and wrote directly to the CD from 
PowerPoint.  I put it in the player and, presto!!!  It opened in full screen 
mode without a hitch and ran perfectly!  I am convinced that there is a 
problem in PP 2007.  Who can I write to at Microsoft about this issue?  Thank 
you.

Are you burning the folder to the CD? You need to burn the *contents* of the 
folder, not the folder itself. Just the contents, so they're "loose" on the 
CD.

Did you opt to include the Viewer when you package for CD in 2007?

Hmmmm . . . very interesting.  I do believe you have hit the nail on the 
head!  I draged the entire folder onto my CD burner, not just the contents.  
I had never tried that method before so I was not familiar with it.  But yes, 
I did include the viewer so that it would run on any PC.  Your solution has 
also helped me to know how to burn to a DVD in my new laptop, since PP 
doesn't provide for DVD burning.  Thanks for helping with this.  Did you 
notice my post about "Linked Music IN PP Stops when Linked PDF files open in 
PowerPoint?" It was two posts above this one.  I havn't received any replies 
on that one so maybe there's no way to make it work.

Like Echo says, just drag the files and not the folder. Should have 
mentioned that in the beginning.

Michael,

First, thank you for trying to help.  Thought I would pass this on to you
for reference.  I have tried every which way to write a CD in PP 2007 that
opens immediately in full screen mode when you insert the CD.  I tried the
method you mentioned and the results were the same.  When I ran the CD it
opened in a file.  I had to click on the presentation and then it opened in
PowerPoint instead of the full screen/viewer mode.  I tried it a couple of
times, then tried writing to the CD again, without success.  In total
frustration,  I installed my old PP 2003 disc and used it exactly as I had
always done.  I used the package for CD and wrote directly to the CD from
PowerPoint.  I put it in the player and, presto!!!  It opened in full screen
mode without a hitch and ran perfectly!  I am convinced that there is a
problem in PP 2007.  Who can I write to at Microsoft about this issue? 
Thank
you.
