like to burn them to cds and sell them. I am not sure about Microsoft copyright laws though and would like some clarification. Thanks! |

I have produced and sold products legally, so yes it can be done. It totally depends on the content and where the content was obtained. |

Can I distribute/sell PowerPoint presentations?
We can do whatever we want with a slideshow and all of the files created
using PowerPoint. We cannot distribute any viewers made by Microsoft or anybody else and if the slideshow contains copyrighted content we would have to obtain permissions to reuse the copyrighted content. That's all there is to it. "worldtraveler" wrote in message ... I am working on a number of PowerPoint presentations about travel and I would like to burn them to cds and sell them.

I am not sure about Microsoft copyright laws though and would like some clarification. Thanks! Understand that we're not MS employees here and for the most part, not lawyers either. But in the umptydozen years that PowerPoint, Word and Excel have been out, I've never heard of MS taking anyone to task for distributing or selling documents that they've created with those programs. Of course, if your presntations contain content authored by someone else, you need to be sure you have their permission to distribute the work. ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/ Don't Miss the PPTLive User Conference!

I am not sure about Microsoft copyright laws though and would like some clarification. Thanks! My understanding is that your concern is with your content, not the use of PowerPoint itself. Content is often a big problem in this area. If you are not generating all of your own content, you might consider looking for content with an appropriate commercial Creative Commons license. You can search at Flickr or at CreativeCommons.org for content with the appropriate license. Just be sure the license allows commercial use. --David -- David M. Marcovitz Author of _Powerful PowerPoint for Educators_ http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/ Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Associate Professor, Loyola University Maryland And just a little bit of extra info, Google has now added a Creative Commons filter to their image search.
