How do I download powerpoint presentation?

My daughter as a thumbdrive and I do not know how to use it on my computer. I
downloaded the viewer but she needs to work on it. Where do I go and what do
I have to download?

The Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2003 and Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 97 are just what the name implies, a
viewer which only allows you to "view" Microsoft PowerPoint Presentations (.ppt), Microsoft PowerPoint Slide
Shows (.pps), and Microsoft PowerPoint Templates (.pot).


To create, edit, and save PowerPoint Presentations, Slide Shows, and Templates, you will need to either
purchase an edition/suite of Microsoft Office that includes Microsoft PowerPoint, or purchase the full version
of Microsoft PowerPoint.

Keep in mind that some editions/suites of Microsoft Office include Microsoft PowerPoint and some do not. This
mostly applies to older versions of Microsoft Office.

What's in the Office 2003 Editions?
http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...y/compare.mspx



A downloadable trial version of Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 (which includes Microsoft Office
PowerPoint 2003 Trial) is available.

Trial versions contain all the functionality of the regular (full) version, but can only be used for a limited
time. When the trial period ends, the software will go into reduced functionality mode. Essentially, you will
be able to view Word Documents even after the trial period ends, but not be able to edit/save/create them.

Keep in mind that the Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 Trial Software is 228 MB in size. If you are on a
dialup internet connection, the download may take a while and you will need to remain connected during the
download process.

Although there won't be a press release for another few more days, OpenOffice.org 2.0 (final version) was
released days later just as I said in my original post.

http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/index.html


And to correct/add my other post, the current stable version (at the time of this post) is OpenOffice.org 2.0.
This would make OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 a legacy (old) release.
