1. If you don’t need Microsoft Powerpoint immediately, there is a very easy way to get it for free that is completely legal. Go to a store that sells Powerpoint and purchase it, and save your receipt. Install the software on your computer, and then return it to the store. Tell the clerk that the software is damaged, and won’t load properly on your computer. Due to copyright laws the clerk can’t issue a refund, but he can give you a brand new, unopened copy of the software. Sell this new copy on eBay and Amazon! You can use this method to obtain ANY software for free.

2. If you just want to view a PowerPoint Presentation, then you can download a free PowerPoint Viewer from the Microsoft website.

3. If you want to use the full version of Microsoft Powerpoint, you can download a free 60 day trial of Office Professional 2007 from Microsoft.
