"edit a power point"

[Eva]

I would like to edit a power point, however I do not have the program
installed.

You will have to install the program. A trial version is available here:

You will need PowerPoint to do this, but you might be able to get a 30-day
trial for free:

Where can I download a copy of PowerPoint?

Additionally, you might find that other free tools, such as OpenOffice.org
can do what you want.

I've installed the trial, but it wont let me edit or change anything.

 

[Sandy]

Are you in Normal View (View > Normal)?

It is possible the presentation you've been given is password protected or
has an embedded font. Do you get any error/messages when you open the file?

 

[Echo S]

Has the trial expired?

 

[Bill Foley]

You wouldn't be trying to double-click a PPS file by chance would you? If
so, open PowerPoint first, then click "File", "Open", and browse to the
folder where it resides and select it. If you received it by e-mail you
will need to save the attachment first.

If this isn't it, holler back with more info.
