SUMMARY

You can use the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer to view a slide show on a computer even when that computer does not have a full installation of PowerPoint. The viewer and all of its components fit on one disk; these files are located on the last disk of the Microsoft Office 4.2 Setup disk set.

You can copy and distribute this disk so that you can use the PowerPoint Viewer on a computer that does not have a full installation of PowerPoint.


MORE INFORMATION

When you install the PowerPoint Viewer on your computer, you can view a PowerPoint presentation even if you do not have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your computer. You can install the PowerPoint Viewer version 4.0 either by running the Microsoft Office Setup program, and selecting the PowerPoint Viewer installation option (one of the PowerPoint options), or by running the PowerPoint Viewer Setup program (VSETUP.EXE) located on the last disk of your Microsoft Office disk set.

To install just the PowerPoint Viewer, use the following steps:

  1. Insert the PowerPoint Viewer disk in your floppy disk drive. Use the following table to determine the number of the PowerPoint Viewer disk in your Microsoft Office disk set:
