Link Your Files

By default, the Pack and Go Wizard of PowerPoint will add all linked files into your package.

For example, if you have chosen to include a chart that was created in Microsoft Excel, the Excel file has been linked from the PowerPoint presentation. This file will be needed in order for that slide in the presentation to show correctly. PowerPoint recognizes this and therefore includes this file in the package. Leave this option checked.

Embed Your Fonts

It is a good idea to check the option to Embed True Type fonts. Embedding the True Type fonts ensures that any font you have chosen for your presentation will display correctly on the screen, even if the computer showing the presentation does not have that font installed.

Note - Any True Type fonts used in your presentation that have a built-in copyright protection, cannot be packaged.
