Is there a download for slide shows without purchasing the software?

Question

I am making a slide show for my daughters senior class. I've never made one before but I've seen them from other schools. I was just wondering if there is a download on the internet or do I have to purchase the software?

Answer 1

Open Office (www.openoffice.org)
It is a free suite that is similiar to MS Office. It has:
Writer – a word processor you can use for anything from writing a quick letter to producing an entire book.
Calc – a powerful spreadsheet with all the tools you need to calculate, analyse, and present your data in numerical reports or sizzling graphics.
Impress – the fastest, most powerful way to create effective multimedia presentations.
Draw – lets you produce everything from simple diagrams to dynamic 3D illustrations.
Base – lets you manipulate databases seamlessly. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, all from within OpenOffice.org
Math – lets you create mathematical equations with a graphic user interface or by directly typing your formulas into the equation editor.

I think you want Impress. I also think they are compatible with the microsoft counterparts. As in, you can open a Power Point presentation in Impress. Good luck.

Slideshow like powerpoint. But PP is not free. You could try openoffice.org which is free to use. In OO, you can do slideshow. Hope it helps
