I have been trying to find my product key number for microsoft powerpoint. I tried going to microsoft.com but it didn't work. Everytime I try to click on micorsoft powerpoint it says type the product key number in but i don't have it because I don't have the cd-rom. The powerpoint came with my computer. Does anyone have a product key to microsoft powerpoint? I need help

Powerpoint doesn't have a product key itself. It's part of Microsoft Office and the key went with Office.
The only way to get your key is to contact Microsoft.
Any other way is illegal.

If it came with your computer, it may have been only a trial edition (Dell, HP Compaq do this). If it was the full version, check the documentation that came with the computer. It should have the product key there.
If you only need to view a powerpoint (not make one) you can get the powerpoint viewer:

Otherwise, you can try using OpenOffice (it may not work as well as Microsoft Office, make sure to save as a ppt file) The program for making slideshows is called Impress.
