The full version of Microsoft PowerPoint is NOT required to open and view a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation
(.ppt), Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show (.pps), or Microsoft PowerPoint Template (.pot).

The free PowerPoint Viewer is all that is needed to open and view PowerPoint files. See the links below for
more information.

In addition to the information already provided by me and other users, I'd recommend that you have a look at
this article (before you email that PowerPoint Slide Show):
