How to get Powerpoint.

[Christy]

I know this may be a stupid question, but how do I get powerpoint?? I had to download the 97viewerfor school, and I am suppose to work with Powerpoint, but I can not find it anywhere. I am sorry for such a dumb question, but for some reason I have no Microsoft Office in my system anywhere. How and wherecan I find it? Does anyone know? I have exhausted my brain looking for it and Microsoft is so confusing to me. Please help.

The PowerPoint Viewer only allows you to "view" presentations created with PowerPoint, not "create"
them. It's just like Acorbat Reader; the reader allows you view PDF files, but not create them.

You can purchase PowerPoint as a stand-alone application or as bundled in some of the Office suites.
If all you need is PowerPoint, it would be cheaper just to purchase it separately. Just go down to
your local office supply store like OfficeMax, Office Depot, Staples, etc. and buy it there. They
should undoubtedly have a copy of the latest PowerPoint version and perhaps even past ones as well.

In addition to Jeff's suggestions, you probably qualify for the reduced
pricing offered by the Students and Educators version of Office. Speak with
your teacher to see whether you can purchase it through the school. On
occasion I have seen the S&E version at Costco. You can also check at Best
Buy or Comp USA or comparable stores.
