You don't have to buy it.. Microsoft makes a viewer for Mac users.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e25cb1e5-209c-4a58-b283-23e84b616477&displaylang=en

You could use Sun's open office, which will allow you to open MS Word files on your Mac, even without MS Word. From theer you could easily copy and paste to your existing form

As one other person mentioned, you can download openoffice which works like PowerPoint. Another choice is to use the free online software at http://online.thinkfree.com -- it has a Word, Excel, and PowerPoint compatible software that you use in your Web browser. That means you can access your files (up to 30MB) anywhere. And you can save or load from your local disk too. It also saves PDFs. I use it all the time.

The power point software may be corrupted.  You need to correct the corrupted part.  Go to start menu -> control panel -> add/remove programs -> power point.  It will give you an option of completely remove it or recover it.  Select "recover" option.  It will ask for Office CDs.  Make sure that you have those ready.\n\n--\nthanks and regards,\nPrasanna

you really don't need powerpoint if they're just picures. If the file names end in .JPG, .BMP or .TIF, windows can automatically open them w/o powerpoint. If the file ends in .PPT or .PPS you may need to download a free powerpoint viewer. The link below is a free program to view powerpoint slide show.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=428d5727-43ab-4f24-90b7-a94784af71a4&displaylang=en

Open up MS Word and bring up the document you want to transfer to Powerpoint.\nOpen up Powerpoint and insert a Text Box in the slide.\nGo back to MS Word. \n\nA.\nClick on "Edit" then "Select All" (if you want all the text in the document to appear in Powerpoint).\nThen click on "Edit" again, then "Copy".\n\n   -or---\n\nB.\nIf you need to copy only a portion of the document over to Powerpoint:\nClick on "Edit", then -highlight- the text you want to transfer to Powerpoint.\nThen right-click over the highlighted area and click on "Copy".\n\nAfterwards ...\nGo back to Powerpoint, right-click on any part -inside-\n the Text Box, then click on "Paste". The text from Word should appear in the Powerpoint Text Box.\n\nIf this does not work ...\nPull up Powerpoint.\nThen go back to MS Word. Minimize the screen, so that it is smaller than the Powerpoint screen, and you can see some part of the Text Box in Powerpoint.\n\nDo procedures "A" or "B".\nThen position your cursor over the highlighted area and "DRAG" it (by clicking on the LEFT mouse key -without- releasing it) until the cursor is over any part -INSIDE- the Text Box.\nRelease the Left Mouse Key.\nYour MS Word text should now appear inside the Powerpoint Text Box.\nGood Luck!

You must purchase Microsoft Office, either the student version or the standard version to obtain Powerpoint so that you can make your own powerpoint presentations.\n\ngreetz brimu
