Hi Charles The simplest solution to your problem would be to use MS PowerPoint and cut an ISO9660 CD. This assumes the viewer has PowerPoint for MAC.
You can 'pack and go' where a viewer is included with the presentation but if you wanted to ensure the presentation wasn't dependent on an external application it would be best to have a self contained executable or batch file. I don't know if PowerPoint's pack and go generated on a PC will work on a MAC but the file format is interoperable, of that I know. PowerPoint is a blunt tool by graphic design standards but I can't deny its usefulness or almost complete penetration and Keynote on the MAC supports *.PPT import. Take a look at the link below for more information on PowerPoint: http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/topcategory.aspx?TopLevelCat=CH79 001808&CTT=6&Origin=ES790020011033 Personally, I'd recommend using Macromedia Director or Flash but they're expensive and requires knowledge of the applications although you could get by with some of the basic presentation templates which will deliver an effective result nonetheless. Although overkill, they offer complete control and you're not prone to tampering with the presentation. Relatively new on the market is Macromedia Breeze, it may be an alternative idea worth considering for delivery if the pack and go feature isn't cross platform compatible: http://www.macromedia.com/software/breeze/?promoid=home_prod_breeze_1015 03 Hope the above suggestions are of some assistance and if you have any queries, feel free to drop me a line off list.
