Windows Vista and Power Point

[Sam spade]

Have friend who has Vista and when I send her a power point file she can not

see it. Puts it on her desktop and still can't see it. Does anyone have a

URL where she can download it to her pc (free) and thus see power point

files?

She needs this:



PowerPoint Viewer 2007:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...40-14E1-467D-8DCA-19D2A8FD7485&displaylang=en



And then will likely need to do this:

She needs to install the PowerPoint viewers, and others who have

responded have posted the URL for that. That will allow her to view

the file, but not to update it. If she needs to update it, she can

spend buck$ for MS Powerpoint or download Open Office

(www.openoffice.org) for free.
