With Microsoft PowerPoint, you can create a complete self-running presentation and set it to auto play by double-clicking on the presentation file. This allows you to send a presentation via email or a CD and know that regardless of the recipient's technical proficiency, he will be able to see your presentation. PowerPoint self-running presentations include a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint viewer, so the presentation will play on a computer whether it has PowerPoint is installed or not.
