PowerPoint is one of the applications in the MS Office suite, although I
believe you can purchase it separately. MS Office has never been part of
any Windows operating system. If you don't have it and want it, you will
need to purchase it at your favorite online or brick-and-mortar store.

If you simply want to view PowerPoint presentations and not work with the
files at all, you can download a free viewer from Microsoft.

If you don't want to purchase MS Office but do want to work with the files
as opposed to merely viewing PowerPoint presentations sent to you, then
OpenOffice is an excellent office suite that can read and write MS Office
formats. OO is free and you can download it from www.openoffice.org.

OpenOffice.org has a pp compatible component called 'impress'. IMHO it's
more intuitive and easier to use.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.

You don't, not legally. If all you need to do is view Office
files, there are free viewers available from Microsoft:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/results.aspx?qu=viewers&av=DCT000

If you need to create and/or edit Office files:

1) Go to store/shop that sells computer software.

2) Purchase the Microsoft Office suite that contains the applications
you need.

3) Return home.

4) Insert installation CD in PC's CD drive and follow the on-screen
prompts and instructions to install application and desired additional
features.

For the budget-minded (who also don't need all of Word's or Excel's
specific features), there's the free, open source OpenOffice:

No. Neither Windows Vista, nor any other version of Windows, has ever
included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, or any other significant
application software. Such programs have to be bought, either by
themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows, came
with PowerPoint, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled it as
part of the package he sold you, not because that version of Windows
came with it. Some, but not all, vendors do the same with Windows
Vista.

However, if all you want to do is view existing PowerPoint
presentations, and not create or modify them, you can download the
free Microsoft PowerPoint viewer at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...27-43AB-4F24-90B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en

You can not. PowerPoint is commercial software for sale, and is not
legally available for a free download anywhere.

You might want to try the free OpenOffice, which has a PowerPoint-like
component, and see if that meets your needs.

Very interesting. I hear that and then the next day I hear that it takes a
computer science degree and an IQ of 160 to run Linux. I wish you folks
could make up your minds.

You're welcome. Glad to help.
 
PowerPoint is not a "freebie". It is purchased as a standalone application
or is included with Office 2007. Powerpoint viewer is available free) to
permit viewing PowerPoint presentations.

You've several ways, the most rapid one is:
start->run, digit:

powerpnt

and confirm. If your PC has Powerpoint installed, it should be opened.
Besides, you can go in the Applicazion Wizard, start->run, type:

appwiz.cpl

and search for Microsoft Office in the list of applications.
Bye!
 
PowerPoint is NOT part of Vista, nor was it part of any previous OS.
It has always been either a standalone program or part of an MS Office
suite.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

look for the PowerPoint viewer
this will allow you to see PowerPoint slides
or you can buy the full program if you want to make presentations
