Powerpoint? Yuk!  Try Lotus FREELANCE.  It’s a MUCH better presentation program than Powerpoint.

Oh did you actually mean slides like small pictures in a carousel? Didn't even occur to me.

 

PowerPoint is a Microsoft Office product - it's pretty expensive but you can download a similar application at http://www.openoffice.org/

 

The portion of it called Star Impress will open a PowerPoint file.I have used this SW, it's not as tight as Microsoft but it will work and it's free.

 

Or you could just find someone with PPT and ask them to help [probably the easiest!]

Subject: [RC] slide show

 

Thanks for all the replys concerning a "slide show."  Apparently slide shows are a bit outdated (similar to me going to the music store and asking for a certain "record")...so now there is something called power point....has to do with a lap top and a projector of some sort.   Oh well... I guess its time to take another giant step into whatever age this is...any info about how to get started with "power point" would be much appreciated.  My e-mail is sbolinge@xxxxxxx
