Is there a free PowerPoint viewer for Macintosh for those who don't have PowerPoint installed on their computers?

Hi,

The closest thing to something like a free viewer is Sun Microsystem's
OpenOffice product.

It can probably play your presentation, but don't expect the
presentation to look the same.

Hi,

Microsoft is hoping that the File > Make Movie feature will suffice for
creating presentations to distribute.

If you need to play a powerpoint presentation received in PowerPoint
file format, the closest thing to a free viewer is OpenOffice
(http://www.openoffice.org). OpenOffice won't play the presentation
exactly as created, but it will play.
