PowerPoint viewer 2007 in Windows 7

[noor motani]

I purchased new laptop with windows 7 home premium. Since it does not have
office 2007, I downloaded PowerPoint viewer 2007. It did open the .pps
attachments but after a couple of days it refused as a dll file got missing.
I uninstalled and re installed the viewer and it worked. I have now realized
that when windows updates, it removes this dll file.

Any help is appreciated.

Suggest you install OpenOffice.org - for free. It's a highly compatible
office suite. The 'presentation' portion will handle most powerpoint
files.

Don't listen to that dingbat ray.
Open Office will open many Office documents...but will ruin formatting and
other "incompatibilities".
If you're using Office just at home, get the Student edition...it's for
non-commercial use.
If your using it professionally, then it is worth the investment of full
blown Office.

I've yet, in my entire life, seen professional work done with Open Office.
OO is for kids.

If you bought MS Office, yes.

I didn't say it was perfect. There will be some extremely complex
formatting that it won't quite make - but you'll still be able to deal
with it. For 'normal' operations, it will be quite sufficient.

No indication that the poster is doing 'professional work'. On the other
hand you haven't looked very far.

OpenOffice won't handle MS office macros - that's the biggest limitation.
IMHO the world would be a lot better off if macros were written for
OpenOffice instead of assuming everyone in the world is willing to pay a
few hundred bucks to deal with your 'valuable' information. At least
virtually everyone on the planet can have OpenOffice for the price of a
download. It runs on MS, MAC and Linux - MS office can't say the same.

Well. if redoing thousands of spreadsheets is worth a few hundred bucks to
you, by all means have at it.

It's not my job to bolster your opinion with "open source is great, free,
and a royal PITA".

Yeah, Office doesn't run on Linux.
I'm shocked.

+1 for someone whom uses a spreadsheet to create list of CD's owned.
How clever.
Yes, OO is great for that.

I use it all the time on my Latitude D620 notebook with Vista business.

I go can back and forth with MS Word and OO Writer with no problems on my monthly reports
in .DOC files.

It is a good option and best of all -- it is NOT from Microsoft.
