I don't know how to tell what the contents of this product are -
are there parts that I somehow didn't install,
which I might want.

I find I now need Powerpoint, and don't know whether I need to buy a separate
product, or whether I already have it - the CD packaging doesn't say what's
inside.

2002 Small Business Edition (SBE) doesn't include PPT.
2003 SBE does.

You could buy PPT 2002 and install it (but be sure not to buy the UPGRADE
version ... that will only upgrade an exising PPT to 2002 and since you
probably don't have an existing version, it won't help)

If it were mine, I'd look for a good deal on an upgrade to 2003 SBE rather than
wrestling with SBE from one CD and PPT from another.
 
Thanks to all who replied; now I better understand what I got OEM when I got
my laptop.

What I'm trying to do is to deliver a presentation to a computer user group.
This is a "presentation in a box" prepared by Microsoft dealing with the
Windows Live OneCare service and the Windows Defender Beta 2 program. They
provide a PowerPoint presentation and a script, and I do the dance, meaning
that I want to project the presentation on a screen (we've got a projector
and I've successfully tested use of it from my laptop). (used a photo slide
show)

I have been told that there is a PowerPoint reader, which is supposedly a
free program, like Adobe's Acrobat Reader. That's all the capabilty I need;
I'm not trying to create my own presentation or modify theirs.

Any guidance ? - thanks
