PPT97: Pack & Go Wizard Doesn't Allow You to Select Floppy Drive (178119)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q178119 SYMPTOMS
When you run the Pack And Go Wizard, the Wizard asks you for the
destination for the packed presentation. If you click the Choose
Destination option and point to the floppy drive, the Next button is not
available and you are unable to finish the wizard.
CAUSEWORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Select the Floppy Drive- Insert a blank, formatted disk in the floppy disk drive.
- Open the presentation that you want to pack.
- On File menu, click Pack And Go.
- In the Pack And Go Wizard, click Choose Destination.
- Under "Which drive should the file be copied to" click the floppy
drive you want to use for the packed presentation.
Method 2: Create a File on the Floppy Disk- Insert a disk that contains at least one file or folder in the floppy
disk drive. NOTE: The file can be an empty text file.
- Open the presentation that you want to pack.
- On File menu, click Pack And Go.
- In the Pack And Go Wizard, click Choose Destination.
- Click Choose Destination and then click Browse.
- In the Look In box, select the floppy drive you want to use. For
example, select the 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) option. Click Select.
