My mom's going back to college and needs powerpoint for presentations since it'll be easier to use. They said to make it on your own computer then bring something to put it on theirs to project it. Problem is we don't have powerpoint. Is there a way to download it and transfer it from computer to computer? Thanks.

Here are some suggestions for you:
If you want to send your PowerPoint to someone else without PowerPoint installed
1. Burn Your PowerPoint to a DVD disc.and watch it with a DVD player on TV, You can learn how to and advantages on this website:

There are some PowerPoint clones available but the easiest program is the actual Microsoft PowerPoint. I suggest you either buy Microsoft Office (which has Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) or find a way to download it onto your Mom's computer.
Once you have it, it is pretty easy to learn (I did and I am an IDIOT when it comes to computers).
Good luck to your Mom. She is to be commended for going back to school.

Well, I'm trying to ascertain as to what actually is being asked here.
For her to devise a presentation in PowerPoint, she must have PowerPoint installed as one of her Microsoft Applications, i.e. Office 2000...Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook..and so on.
She can look on EBay for Microsoft Office (XP or 2000 not sure of what platform you have on your PC at home) pretty cheap on EBay though....or go to a computer store and purchase Microsoft Office.
Once she has the application and devises a presentation on your computer she can upload it to a zip drive (mini) and take it to school and download it on their computer...or another way is she can burn it on a CD. (if you have a CD Burner)

I can give you 2 options:
1. Go to a computer shop and make one.
2. You can use OpenOfffice to make a powerpoint resentation file. It's free and you can download it from this site:
http://www.openoffice.org/
it's legal to download this one.

Yes go to www.cnet.com and go to downloads then put in the specifications for the computer that you want power point on and download it to your computer, put it on a disk and start it on the other computer. You should be able to get a free trial there.

you can download Open Office2 for free. it as everything MS Office as, Power Point, spread sheet, word processor, and data base, the only difference is, the program names but how they work is the same and her files can be saved as ms power point format. so you're mum can do her work
OpenOffice is a Linux program that works under windows, all Linux software is free, meaning it is not a demo, it is not a trial version, it is the FULL version
make sure you or she downloads the one for Windows click on the link below and download it

To be honest Microsoft pwrpt is a software given to individuals with a license........people do transfer it to other computers, but it is illegal to copy it and give it to someone else to put on their computer.....You might be able to find a friend who is willing to take the risk and give you a copy of the software.

A lot of the time, it comes with Microsoft Office. If you purchase it, you can download it on a certain amount of computers.
I got it, and can download it on three different computers.

yeah, what everyone else said. unless it's a bootleg you really can't download it.
why doesn't your mom just use the school computer? like just think out her slides now and go to the school computer lab when she gets the chance :)
that's what i do
