Re: power point

S

I guessed that it was a Dell that had been bought, because it was loaded
with Corel WP Office.. I knew that, when ordering, there was a choice of
software, but didn't know that there was a charge for the MS option.. thank
you for the info..

In the clear light of day, I also remember that Freelance Graphics is
actually part of Lotus Smartsuite, not WordPerfect Office.. Presentations is
the WP offering.. the blurb suggests that WP Office can handle MS Office
files, so Presentations should be able to generate files that PowerPoint can
use..

The last version of WP Office I ever used was 7, and I loved it.. I think
that the OP should give WP Office 12 a chance..
