microsoft powerpoint
 

does anyone know where i can get something like powerpoint? I don't want to buy office because I don't have that much money. I use 602text for my "word" documents, but for an online class i have i need to download powerpoint presentations.

no clue here, sorry

if you download the openoffice.org suite, it comes with a powerpoint program (though it is not powerpoint, exactly, it still works the same)

ok thanks so much!

i actually think openoffice has better consistancy between versions of powerpoint.

i did a presentation on a PC version of PowerPoint last semester, tested it on a MAC G5 before class, and then when we loaded it on the classroom's iBook, it was all fucked up.

i've never had that problem with OO

same here, i've made 3 presentations in it, and they all worked fine on windows machines.

i downloaded it and some of my documents work but the ones i really need open in 'writer' and not in 'impress' which is what i think they need to open in. can anyone help me?
this is getting very frustrating

hmm, i would say open Impress itself first, and open the file from there. what is the extension on it?

i can try it on my computer if it is an issue.

(sorry this took so long)

it was powerpoint file but i got it open. i dont know what was wrong with it

ok cool.

openoffice isnt perfect, but its free and its getting a lot better.

My job requires me to maintain compatibility among nearly everything windows.. which means opening one of like twenty MS office 2003 programs and making it readable for someone else. Or saving it AS an office file and double checking (otherwise known as totally reformatting the code/text/graphics) to make sure everything is kosher.

You DO NOT want Office 2K3. Access, Excel, Infopath, Outlook, Powerpoint, Publisher, Word.

Bleh, Office 97.. where'd you go, to?

why did you put a comma between go and to?

sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do

heil...

liss i would advice you to get you're grammar nazi pictures out of hear!
