Windows® computers are not supplied with a viewer to view
PowerPoint. However, Microsoft does provide a PowerPoint viewer
that you may download for free.
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.
