Seems like it has a 60 day trial for Microsoft Office so you will have Powerpoint for the first 60 days. It has Microsoft Works as standard though and that includes a Word-Processor, etc. so it seems like pretty good value to me for a Toshiba.

Did the computer say it came with word/office? The manufacturer of the computer may offer a free trial or something along those lines. Other then that you have to like everyone else said buy the software or go with free software which they have listed for you.\n\n\nFor more info about Microsoft Office visit\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx\n\n\nOffice-\nAccess\nAccounting\nCommunicator\nExcel\nFrontPage\nGroove\nInfoPath\nOneNote\nOutlook\nPowerPoint\nProject\nPublisher\nSharePoint Designer\nVisio\nWord

You have a few options:\n1. As one poster mentioned, you can download OpenOffice from:\nhttp://www.openoffice.org. Along with all of the features of Microsoft Office, including Powerpoint and draw, it has the benefit of being able to create pdf files. The downside of this method is that if you don't have a broadband connection it can take a while to download.\n\n2. Microsoft works comes with may computers and includes a word processor.\n\n3. Under Start: Accessories is a program called Word Pad, which is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that can format and use different fonts. \n\nAny of these three methods should work.\n\n--Dee

As I can only check online stores right now (and I don't shop at Wal-Mart) I wasn't able to find a NEW PC for $200 and even if I could it wouldn't be running Windows... it would probably be running some version of Linux most likely Linspire which is not compatible with MS Office (but you would get Open Office with it).  That being said... Overstock.com has one right at $200, http://www.overstock.com/?page=proframe&prod_id=1726379 but the specs of it make me shiver (it's a natural reaction for me as I own two gaming PCs and build them on the side).

PowerPoint has "blank presentation", and it does come with Microsoft Small Business on XP Pro.

I am an enthusiastic user of open office.This has word processor, database, spreadsheet and much more. It is entirely free and can certainly be used for the purpose you have described. It is a large download, about 100 megabytes. It looks and feels very much like Microsoft Office, without the cost. It will also allow you to save as PDF if you want. It can be obtained from www.openoffice.org

I can't say for sure if it is as good as Microsoft Office 2003, but it is probably good enough for most users and it is free.\nI believe it is developed and supported by the same folks who build the LINUX system software

You have three legal options here.  Either you want a Powerpont viewer which is free (you cannot alther the Powerpoint presentations though):\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=428d5727-43ab-4f24-90b7-a94784af71a4&displaylang=en\n\nSecondly you can download Openoffice.org which is an Office Suite (similar to Microsoft Office) and is absolutely free.  They An application is included in the suite which is similar to Powerpoint and in fact you can export it into that format:\n\nhttp://www.openoffice.org/\n\nOr finally, buy Microsoft Powerpoint from your local computer store.\n\nI have personally used OpenOffice and it works like a dream.

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
