Does Office 2002 Small Business Edition contain PowerPoint ?

[RV_traveler]

I don't know how to tell what the contents of this product are -
are there parts that I somehow didn't install,
which I might want.

I find I now need Powerpoint, and don't know whether I need to buy a separate
product, or whether I already have it - the CD packaging doesn't say what's
inside.

RV_traveler,
Read this there is a section specifically about the Small business edition:

Office XP Small Business Edition does not include Powerpoint.
Office XP Standard and Office XP Professional do include
Powerpoint. See http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00280.htm for more
information.

Thanks to all who replied; now I better understand what I got OEM when I got
my laptop.

What I'm trying to do is to deliver a presentation to a computer user group.
This is a "presentation in a box" prepared by Microsoft dealing with the
Windows Live OneCare service and the Windows Defender Beta 2 program. They
provide a PowerPoint presentation and a script, and I do the dance, meaning
that I want to project the presentation on a screen (we've got a projector
and I've successfully tested use of it from my laptop). (used a photo slide
show)

I have been told that there is a PowerPoint reader, which is supposedly a
free program, like Adobe's Acrobat Reader. That's all the capabilty I need;
I'm not trying to create my own presentation or modify theirs.

Any guidance ? - thanks
