Your way works too, but there is a more "permanent" approach that will allow you
to modify the files and save them separately.

Open WinZip and use File > Open Archive. Locate your Zip file and select it.
The 14 individual files contained in the archive will be listed, but they have
not yet been extracted. Click on the Extract button/icon and tell it where you
want the files to be saved. Exit WinZip when the extract is complete. Open
PowerPoint. Go to File > Open and locate your 14 files (the folder you
extracted them to) and select one and click OK.

Now you have access to all functions of PowerPoint. If you want to print in
Black and White you can first go to View > Color/Grayscale to see what it will
look like in B&W. The slides of the presentation remain in color, but this
allows you to see how they'll look when printed in B&W. Go to File > Print and
set your printer to print in Grayscale or Pure Black and White.
