Client doesn't have PPT - can I save in another format?

[Lorian]

I've created many PPT presentations for a resource library. This particular
client doesn't have PPT on his laptop. I sent him the link for the PPT
reader, but isn't there a different file type I can use for the presentation
so that anyone can read it, with or without PPT or the PPT reader? Thanks for
any insight you can provide.

If you don't have any animations and it is just straight text and images, you could always save it as a PDF file

You can package the presentation as an exe file, which will include the ppt
viewer. Check this out:

A good way to view a powerpoint presentation without Powerpoint is converting
it to videos or flash, which can be played on any PCs. There are many
conversion tools out there. You can search powerpoint to dvd, ppt to video
and ppt to flash on google. Here is a good article introduces some famous
this kind of conversion tools:

good luck!

I have also been able to save-as-web-page and send my presentations to people who don't
have PowerPoint or the viewer. Some of the rendering is not very clean, however.
