There are 6 slides. All of which contain at least 1 or more picture on them. Do i need to burn the ppt file, and all the pictures to the cd? then rip them to the computer in the classroom and play my powerpoint? or do i just need to burn the ppt file to cd, but the cd in the CD-rom and just double click it?

The pics are stored in the ppt file. That should be all you need. But if you are doing a CD, I would bring the whole directory in case you decide to make some last-minute changes. Sometimes a projector will look different than your home screen and you might want to change brightness, etc. settings.

Edit: Right off the CD should be fine.

Just make sure everything is in the same folder or the same folder tree on the CD as it was on the hard drive. If you have your pictures in an "Images" folder on the PC but then dumped them right into the same folder as the PPT file on the CD, it will nto work because it will be looking in the wrong folder.

But you should be able to run everything right off the CD< just keep all the files in the same folder to make things easier.

I'm pretty sure the best thing to do is to save it as a Powerpoint Show (.pps) and just put that on the CD. Double-click the file and instant slideshow.

Use the rest of the space on the CD to add some porn clips. Go out with a GANG Bang! :D

There should be an option called either "Pack and Go" or "Package for CD" depending on what version you have. That'll copy the .ppt and all linked/embedded files onto the cd auto-magically.
