Microsoft powerpoint anyone?

[muffinman840]

Hey guys,
I was go to a small church in Nokesville VA called Oak Dale Baptist. We just started a contemporary service and we just got a screen and projector the one problem is, is that we need powerpoint. The church has it but it came with the pastor's computer and the AV guys need a copy for thier home. We have an extrememly tight budget and powerpoint is a little to expensive right now for us. If anyone had an old copy that they could send me please let me know!! Please PM me and let me know Microsoft Powerpoint 97 and up would be awesome thanks guys I am praying about this and I hope its meant to be!

An alternative to consider might be OpenOffice.org

OOo is basically Star Office Suite 5 or 6 (I can't remember which). It has a slideshow much like PowerPoint that is even somewhat compatabile with PowerPoint and it's a totally free application.

You can check out the site for more information. I've used it to create presentations for school and it takes a little while to get use to the layout, but it works nearly as well as PowerPoint 2000.

Powerpoints a good program, but whenever you get the money, try to get the program called Easy Worship. it is so easy to use but you can still upload powerpoint presentations onto it. there's free upgrades over the internet, and you can download different songs. i've been using it for a few months at my church and it's fantastic.
Good luck with your new service.
