Powerpoint won't play

[SHIPP]

I have created a powerpoint slide show and sent it off to 3 people. It plays
fine on all but one of the computers. Does a person have to have Powerpoint
(the program) in order to play Powerpoint presentations or can Windows play
them automatically?

They must have either PowerPoint or the free PowerPoint viewer available on
the Microsoft web web site.

The full version of Microsoft PowerPoint is not needed to open/view a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation. In
this is the case, all you need is the PowerPoint Viewer.

Microsoft Windows does not include software to open/view PowerPoint Presentations. You will need to download
and install the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer if you want/need to view PowerPoint Presentations and do not have
the full version of Microsoft PowerPoint.
