You cannot legally download a full version of PowerPoint, however you can order a free trial version of MS Office which will be fully functional for 30 days' time. The disk will be sent to you from Microsoft - they would not want/let you copy their software onto your own media.\n\nOther Options:\n\nIf you don't need to create MS PowerPoint presentations but do need to be able to view them, there is also a free downloadable viewer - you can view and print using that download.\n\nIf you need to be able to create full presentations for more than 30 days in the future, your options are to buy MS office or find an alternative program. One easy and free alternative is Open Office's "IMPRESS."

Use Windows Movie Maker.  It is standard on most computers, look for the .exe file in the Program Files on you hard drive, there should be a sub-folder named Movie Maker.  Take each slide in your PowerPoint presentation and cut and paste it from the slide sorter in PowerPoint into Microsoft Paint, saving each slide as it's own image, and then use Movie Maker to put the images together to make a video.  I don't know what the quality will be like, and the video will be saved as a .wmv file, so you will need to convert it to an .avi file.  You can download software that will do that for free for 30 days at movavi.com or smartsoftvideo.com to name just two programs.

To view a power point show the computer has to AT LEAST have a power point viewer program...which you can easily download off the internet for free.

If you're using Windows XP, right click the start button.\nThen click Explore.\nClick the + sign next to My Computer\nNow click the + sign next to Local Disk (C:) or what ever the hard drive is called that contains PowerPoint.\nClick the + sign next to Program Files.\nScroll down the list of files until you find either the PowerPoint file or the Microsoft Office file. If you find the MS Office it might have a + sign. Click on it and that should open up the entire MS Office suite of products including PowerPoint.\n\nplrr

Another option is OpenOffice. It's much like StarOffice like the person up there offered. OpenOffice is a suite like Microsoft Office that is open source and completely free and one of the programs is called 'Impress' and let's you create slide shows and save them in PowerPoint format.\n\nAlso a correction to the guy above: StarOffice is not free, it  costs $70. OpenOffice is free.

You can do either one.  If you go to microsoft's homepage you can get a cheat-sheat that tells you how to do it.\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/training\nSo that's how! Great PowerPoint features\n\nGood Luck

You can download the office program at www.openoffice.org.  It's just like Microsoft Office except it's open source so it's free.  They have a program called Impress that is just like PowerPoint.  When you save, make sure that you save it in Microsoft PowerPoint format so when you take it to class to present it tomorrow it will open up correctly.

If you want to view PPS files, Microsoft offers a free viewer.  \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=428D5727-43AB-4F24-90B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en\n\nIf you want to create slideshows similar to Powerpoint try Open Office.

(m)\n\nYou can use Microsoft PowerPoint to create interactive presentations containing text, art, animation, and audio and video elements. It is probably the best-known presentation graphics program available. If your computer arrived pre-loaded with Microsoft Office, you most likely have PowerPoint too. Just click Start and select Programs to find it. Not all Microsoft Office packages include PowerPoint, however. If yours doesn't, visit Microsoft to find out how you can get it and how much it will cost. \n\nPowerPoint's widespread availability isn't the only reason for its popularity, however. "I use it because I like technology and the choices it allows," LuAnn Kaiser, a teacher at Nebraska's Wausa Public School, told Education World. "With PowerPoint, you can animate words and graphics, add sound effects, include a QuickTime movie -- it's just awesome! PowerPoint captures the students' attention and helps keep them interested!" \n\n"The kids like it," Kaiser added, "because it's so easy to use and because the ability to integrate graphics and text means there's always something new to learn and do."

In Power Point load (File/Open) the presentation you’ve selected. Then start it by pressing View/Slide Show. Click mouse left button to reach next slide.\nIf you have ppt document to view, but you have no Power Point installed (and/or licensed :))), you can download free viewer from http://www.microsoft.com

No way, I've looked....um not that I'd do anything illegal though..*cough** However, Open Office has a presentation program in their new suite that is compatible with Power Point, you can save your projects as Power Point files. It is a bit more difficult to use, has a few less features, but its the only free, Power Point compatible program I'm aware of. Just go to www.openoffice.org, download it. Its pretty big, but well worth the time.

Just use OpenOffice instead. It's essentially the same as Microsoft Office and includes it's own presentation program which functions just like and is compatible with Microsoft's PowerPoint.\n\nGet it here:\n\nhttp://www.openoffice.org
