Someone sent me a PPT file. I don't have MS Office or Power Point. Is there another application that will allow me to open the file? I don't even need to modify and save it, just open and view it.

Thanks.
 
Hi Slash,
You can download a ms powerpoint viewer here
[broken link removed]


File Name: PPView97.exe
Download Size: 2789 KB
Date Published: 2/20/2004
Version: 2000
Overview
This download is for users who don't have Microsoft PowerPoint®; it allows them to view PowerPoint 95, 97, 2000, and 2002 presentations.

The PowerPoint Viewer 97 allows people who use PowerPoint to share their presentations with people who do not have PowerPoint installed on their computers. When you post presentations on the Internet, you can include the PowerPoint Viewer to expand your online audience to people who might not have PowerPoint, or to those with different versions. You can use this viewer to view files created in both PowerPoint for Windows® and PowerPoint for the Macintosh.

Notes
You can view and print presentations, but you cannot edit them in the PowerPoint Viewer.
The PowerPoint Viewer supports all PowerPoint 97 and PowerPoint 95 features.
Some PowerPoint 2000 and 2002 features are not supported by the viewer:
Picture bullets
Automatic numbering
Animated GIF pictures
Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) controls
ActiveX® controls are not supported by the viewer
