Hello August!

 AA> How does that work?   Will that be a self-contained .EXE?

Accomplished via Windows Live Skydrive or a Sharepoint server.. But I will know
more once I get my hands on it, I do not know if they deviated from the old way
to do it. In lets say 2003 and 2007 versions, if I wanted to distribute a
self-executing Powerpoint, it would gather up all the files associated with the
presentation as well as the needed files for the free standing viewer, then it
makes a batch file that calls the viewer from within the same folder with the
presentation file name as a command line parm. Then you simply zip all that up,
or include it in a self-extraction zip, or even a program installer.

As you may recall, I often talk about how we work on customers computers for
tuneups, virus removals etc. I put together a powerpoint presentation that
helps educate customers about the Rogue Anti-Malware Programs, how to spot
them, avoid them, how they could have gotten them etc. Generally I have copies
of it just printed up that I hand out now.. But I used to have a installer I
created with a program called Centurion Setup, that would extract the
presentation with the viewer to the customers computer, with desktop shortcuts
to run it as well as a uninstall routine..

Plus there is the malware threats that FB introduces, but after years of trying
to look up an old High School sweetheart, I did find her finally on Facebook.
