I want to make a power point presentation and do not know much about software. I do not have powerpoint on my windows xp. I am at my brothers and noticed he has Microsoft Office xp professional it says version 2002 and has 2 cd's in it and tehn he has another case that says Microsoft Office Publisher 2003. Will any of the 2 work to download powerpoint on my computer? What is the difference even if they wont work I am curious? Thank you!

Office Professional is a combination of all the office products, Word, Publisher, Powerpoint, Access...etc....

Microsoft Office XP contains PowerPoint and Publisher along with other software. Publisher is what it says - just MS Publisher. Use the Office XP disc.

Microsoft Office Professional is a suite of software. It contains a colleciton of tools. Microsoft Publisher is an individual program that does page layout. For example, brochures and greeting cards.
MS Office Pro includes PowerPoint as one of the tools, so it's probably what you're looking for...

Office XP Pro is better than Office Publisher. Publisher is just one of the tools in Office, and it's not PowerPoint.

They are identical as you have mentioned the same piece of software twice. If you meant to say Office 2010 and Office 2007, then go with whichever you are more familiar with using, they are always pretty much the same as far as core elements are concerned, the later models just have a few more features. You may be best off with an older version for compatibility issues as some documents prefer to be opened in 2007/2003 compatibility mode.

Microsoft Office is what you're looking for. It's a productivity suite that includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. As you've already stated, you'll be using Powerpoint for your slide show.
Publisher is one single program that makes things like flyers, newsletters, greeting cards, and so on.

Office is a suite of programs while Publisher is 1 program.
You cannot install from his disks because XP products only allow 1 licensed install. It may let you use it for 30 days but then will stop unless you buy your own license.

No publisher is for invitations and posters. You need office 2003, Office 2007, or the stand alone power point to do slideshows

I believe the first CD, not the publisher one, should contain it. After you enter the serial number, you will be prompted as what you would like to install. Check "custom" then check powerpoint if ou would like only that.
