I have just purchased Office XP with Publisher and loaded
it onto my home computer.I want to use Powerpoint for
presentations and prepare these at home. I want to use a
laptop,which has not got powerpoint.for the actual
presentation. I hoped to load the same Office XP with
Publisher onto the drive of the Laptop. Microsoft will
not allow this as the product as already been registered.
Is there a way of contacting Microsoft in order to get
permission to load the Office XP onto the Laptop?

Depending on the edition you purchased, the license may permit installing it on
a main (ie, desktop) computer and a laptop, so long as the same person's the
primary user of each. This will show you how to find out more:

The PowerPoint End User License Agreement (EULA)

I think the way it works is that you install to the second computer, the
activation attempt fails (because you've already activated on the first
computer) so you activate by phone, explain what you're doing and they take
care of you.

I have yet to hear a complaint about this, so it must be working pretty well.
 
If you don't need to be able to edit the presenation on the laptop, just show it, you could install the PowerPoint viewer. This will allow you to present it without having PowerPoint installed on th machine. It's free, and available for download in the Microsoft downloads - search for powerpoint viewer 2003
