Package Presentation for CD

[gillie_girl]

I've run into some trouble with this process, and it's driving me nuts. Long story short, I've got a huge powerpoint presentation: 260+ slides, each containing anywhere from 1-3 hyperlinks to outside files on my company's internal server. We're using the slideshow as an easy way to navigate a bunch of compliance folders and files.



Given the ineptitude of our IT department, we want to have a back up for when our auditors visit, just in case the server is down. We'd like to put everything onto a thumb drive, but without the work of having to rewrite 260+ slides of hyperlinks one by one. To this end, I've been toying with the Package Presentation for CD option, which can copy the linked files as well. Trouble is, it only works for half of the links. I get error messages in the packaging process for the others: "Powerpoint couldn't process the linked file...do you want to continue anyway?"

Any pointers? Workarounds? I'd be grateful!
