Like Excel, they also have a free PowerPoint viewer. Just search the MS site
for PowerPoint viewer.

PowerPoint is a presentation program from Microsoft.

Just like Excel, MSWord, and Outlook, this Powerpoint program is not part
of
windows. It's purchased separately (from windows).

You may be able to use a free Office Suite:
http://www.openoffice.org, a 60-104 meg download or a CD

Or even register at docs.google.com (free) and upload it there. Maybe it
can
read your Powerpoint file.
