Microsoft XP small business

[BryanMan]

If i install this, should microsoft powerpoint be installed along with it?

I installed this when i got this computer, (september 2003) and i never noticed that microsoft powerpoint was missing. I tried re-installing, but it seems that it is not included on this disc that i bought with the computer. can someone please help me considering i have a huge project and i am required to use this program to present to class.

yes its stupid i know, but any help would be appreciated

Thanks, Bryan

BryanMan,

Office XP Small Business doesn't include PowerPoint. It comes with Word, Excel, Outlook, and Publisher.

I think that OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) has a free PowerPoint-like application called Impress included in their software.

You may have to cough up the $150 and get Office 2003 Student & Teacher Edition. That's about the most economical way to get Powerpoint. If you have a card and a club locally, Sam's has it for $126.

It comes with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook - and can legally be installed on 3 computers in your household. You should uninstall Office XP first.

The viewer won't help him *create* the presentation..........

Open Office 1.1.1 will let you save a presentation in Powerpoint format - but I've never tried it and can't tell you how well it translates.
