Can someone please tell me how to get my PP program back! Last year I
downloaded the test version PP3 and used that fine. Somewhere along the
way, my free time using PP3 expired and it was taken away. And somehow I
must have deleted PP2! Now I cannot run or create a PP program! How can I
get it back.. ????

Will I end up having to buy it again? It came with my computer as part of
MS Office, but I don't see or have a disk that looks like I can re-install it!
HELP!

I assume you mean PowerPoint 2003 and 2002 respectively.

I've never tried the test version so I'm not sure how it works exactly, but with
the regular version of 2003, the default install behavior is to update/replace
any earlier versions of Office on your computer. If the test version works the
same way, I'm afraid you may've blitzed your "real" copy of Office or at least
PowerPoint.

Do you recall what options you had when you did the install?

Check with the computer manufacturer about this. They may have a way to
reinstall Office 2002. And a pox on all computer manufacturers that don't
supply Office CDs or at least an image from which you can create your own CDs or
reinstall as needed.
