Opening and viewing a PowerPoint file may cause problems for some, especially if their Operating System (OS) lacks the PowerPoint (.ppt) program feature. Those running an OS that features MS-Office will already have the PowerPoint program feature installed and can use it to open and view any .ppt file. However, if your OS doesn't, you'll need to first download the free PowerPoint viewer that's available from Microsoft. In a recent check of our many web site links, I discovered Microsoft had changed the link to its free PowerPoint Viewer. So here's the procedure to obtain it now:

1A. Microsoft Users Click Here To get the MS PowerPoint Viewer Download Page

1B. Mac Users Click Here to Download
(Or Mac OS users having Keynote or OpenOffice.org installed can use them.)

2.Click Download and then  "Save File"

3. Once the download is complete, Right Click and click Open.

4. The program will automatically be installed.

5. Now, once you've downloaded any PowerPoint (.ppt) file from our or others web sites, to view it,  right click on the .ppt file and choose "Open With Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer."
