Can I create a powerpoint with Works Suite 2006?

Sorry, no version of Microsoft Works Suite includes any version
of Powerpoint. Powerpoint is available as a standalone
application and as part of the Microsoft Office suite.

No. You need PowerPoint to create presentations.

Well, phooey. I purchased the microsoft works suite 2006 and it has a ppt
viewer... anyway... can I just buy Microsoft Powerpoint without getting the
whole Office deal? Thanks so much.

Microsoft provides free viewers for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint
so that people who don't have these applications can still view
and print files created with these applications. But you cannot
create a Powerpoint file using the free Powerpoint viewer. You
can purchase Powerpoint 2003 by itself, or you can purchase
Powerpoint 2003 as part of Microsoft Office 2003. See
http://www.microsoft.com/office/Powe...y/default.mspx
for more information.

Yes, you can. But I would take the Works Suite back for a refund, and buy
Microsoft Office Standard instead.

When you use more than one of the Office products, it's cheaper to buy the
whole thing than it is to buy two single components.

Hint: If Works Suite was going to be sufficient for your needs, then look
at purchasing a previous version of Office. Office 2002 or Office 2000 will
both do far more than Works Suite would, and they will be available in the
Remainder bin or on Ebay for a very deep discount :-)

Cheers
