- You must have a presentation open in Microsoft PowerPoint to make the Package for CD command available on the File menu.
The Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer would not open my presentation.
The PowerPoint Viewer does not support PowerPoint 95 or earlier file formats. Only files compatible with PowerPoint 97 or later can be viewed with the PowerPoint Viewer.
The modify password I added to my presentation doesn't work when the presentation is packaged.
Because the Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer does not allow presentation editing, a password to modify a presentation is ignored when a presentation is packaged. However, you can add open or modify passwords to protect all packaged content on the CD.
