Description of PowerPoint Viewer 97:

The Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer enables PowerPoint users to share their presentations with people who do not have PowerPoint installed on their computers, without an additional license.  If you do not have PowerPoint installed on your computer, you can use the PowerPoint Viewer to view and print PowerPoint presentations exactly as they appear in PowerPoint.  With this viewer, you can see animation, graphics effects, action settings, hyperlinks, and custom shows.

You can add the Viewer to the same disk as a presentation by using the Pack and Go Wizard.  Then you can unpack the Viewer and presentation together and run the slide show on another computer.  You can also create a play list to use with the Viewer so you can run multiple presentations, one after another.

You can also download the Viewer and get updates and additional information from the PowerPoint Web site.  On the PowerPoint Help menu, point to Microsoft on the Web, and then click Product News.  The Viewer that comes with PowerPoint 97 supports all PowerPoint 95 features and can be used with both PowerPoint for Windows and the Macintosh.

Please note:  PowerPoint Viewer 97 is not supported by Windows XP.  You must download PowerPoint Viewer 2003 for viewing PowerPoint slide shows on a Windows XP system.
