PowerPoint and eDrawings question

[draftsman101]

I am trying to create a powerpoint with embedded edrawings. The problem that I am having is, when I send it to another computer, it won't show the slides with the edrawings files on them. This is the first time that I have dealt with Powerpoint, so I have no idea where I need to go.

Does the computer that I am sending the file to need to have edrawings installed on it? Because it doesn't.

I am looking to send this to a customer.

Thanks in advance.

It would make sense that the pc would need edrawings on it. It's like embedding a quick-time movie and the receiving pc only has windows media player.
What is it you're trying to show via edrawings?

If you drag and drop the eDrawing file into PowerPoint, it should show. If it doesn't, double-click on it in PP.
After you have it, right-click and select "edit", you can animate it.

In my experience, yes the computer that you want to have the PowerPoint presentation run on has to also have the eDrawing application loaded.

This being said, supposedly you can send an executable eDrawing html file, but I have not been able to make this work within a PowerPoint presentation. Also, some firewalls block executable files.
