Answer

Powerpoint viewer is free and will only let you look at powerpoint slide shows that have already been created. to actually make a powerpoint presentation, you have to buy microsoft powerpoint(which is part of microsoft office). the cheapest version is about $130. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b000hcz8eo/ref=amb_link_4206462_2/104-5176307-2578322?pf_rd_m=atvpdkikx0der&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=10k7tztqxvz5z5y1gn6n&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=276801201&pf_rd_i=203104011
