Microsoft Powerpoint


Question Posted Saturday April 7 2007, 10:44 pm

Is there anyway possible I can download Microsoft Powerpoint or buy it for less money? I definately can't afford to spend over $100 on it. Any ideas or any websites? I did look at the free trial for 60 days and it won't let me download it because I don't have an account with them or something. Thanks!!

Instead of powerpoint, I would use Openoffice. It is a more or less exact copy of the Microsoft Office package and, since it is part of the open source movement, it is totally free. It includes copies of word, excel, powerpoint etc. You can download it free here:

I have used the openoffice package both personally and professionally for a while now. It does exactly the same as MS (and works the same way too), and it is fully compatible with all major office programs. Just remember, when you save your file, it will by default save in openoffice's own format (which has some formatting features that are not available in MS format). So, right when you start your work, click "save as" and select Powerpoint format from the list.

There was even a memo that leaked once from Microsoft where they called Openoffice "at least as good as their own product". Got to love those goofs :)

Good luck.
