Power point viewing

[TomT321]

I am sure that this question has been asked many times before, so please forgive a newbie. I receive many e-mails from friends who send power point files that I can not down load on my Mac MINI (running Leopard 10.5 I believe). Is there a free down load that will enable me to view power point presentations? Thanks

Do you mean you can't download them or can't open them, as they both are something different?

Use OpenOffice. It's free.

NeoOffice did the trick

Thanks for the advice, I installed Neo Office and viola I was able to open power point files. Thanks for the advice.

Mac to PC ppt

As with the other trends in this forum, I received an email from a friend containing pictures up loaded on Mac Powerpoint preso. When I try and open them on my PC it informs me the powerpoint can't read the outline from C:\blah No text converter is installed for this file type. I'm sure many of you could inform a dumb PC user. Thanks.
