Powerpoint - how do I get it?

foreversummer

Hi

My daughter has come home from school and has been trying to find Powerpoint on our computer. It is now obvious that we do not have it.

How do I get it? Do I need to buy it or can I download it somewhere free of charge?

Sorry, not very clued up on these things.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

only powerpoint viewer id free of charge, however powerpoint costs and comes with micrososft office. An alternative to microssoft office is openoffice and this comes with a powerpoint type program, and im sure that presentations done on the microsoft one can be viewed on office and then changed.

You could buy MSOffice with student licence for about £100.

Hi

Thank you all for your prompt replies.

Incidently, it was not me who said it was too late to try (making it sound as if I was ungrateful for your responses!). That was my daughter who hijacked the thread as I told her it was too late to download it last night!

We have now successfully downloaded.

Thank you all.
