Jerry, if you don't need to convert to HTML, you don't need to spend a
penny. And speaking for the guy who wrote the thing (and I know he won't
mind 'cause he's me) please DON'T buy it if all you need is the renaming
feature. It's a freebie, our little gift to the PPT community. Glenna said
she'd break my face if I didn't, so I was DELIGHTED to do it. ;-)

Seriously, the demo should be all you need; use it in good health and full
wallet.
