ANSWER: PowerPoint does not create CDs that can be viewed on a TV -- it only creates CDs that can be viewed on a computer with Microsoft Windows installed. Which version of PowerPoint are you using?

QUESTION: Power point 2000.Strange because my computer is only 3 y.o.

ANSWER: Thank you for getting back.

Well, it's not strange -- it all depends on which version you install on your system. There are some people who still run PowerPoint 95 or PowerPoint 97! <g>

The upcoming, new version called PowerPoint 2010 will allow you to create video clips from your PowerPoint presentations that can be burnt on normal DVDs and seen on TV.

Have a great day.

QUESTION: Thanks for your information about Power point.BUT
what about MY slide show? How to burn it in a regular cd?Do I have to buy something different, a dvd, for example?

Answer
You will need a third party program that can convert the PowerPoint presentation to a movie clip -- then burn that movie to a CD or DVD that can play in a regular DVD player.

Here's an article that can help:
