    MS power point..

     
    Hey all, I'm run into a problem.

    For my project, I need to do a power point, (or something alone those lines) to present it to the class.

    I don't have M$ Power Point and I am wondering are there any free programs that can take it's task?

    Also, the computer I will be presenting it on does have M$ power point, so I would also need a program that can possibly open it with that? I'm really lost as to what to do....

    OpenOffice (100% free) has a feature called 'Impress' which is comparable to Powerpoint.
    PowerPoint vs. Impress

    Honestly, I don't know...I've never tried that. I know that it works the other way around...in fact, when you install OpenOffice you are given the option of handling Powerpoint, Word, and Excel files.
