A free PowerPoint 2007 viewer download from Microsoft is available at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=048DC840-14E1-467D-8DCA-19D2A8FD7485&displaylang=en
. There is a description of what it does at that site. If for some
reason the above long url breaks on this post, just go to
http://www.microsoft.com
and enter "PowerPoint viewer" into the search box at the upper right
corner of this main Microsoft page. The 2007 version is not far down
the list you will get. This is a 25.8 MB download, so it could take
about 2 hours on dialup to download. On broadband it will take a very
few to several minutes depending on your connection.
