Accessing Powerpoint
PowerPoint, as part of Microsoft Office 2003, is available in the Computer Center and many other places on campus. A new version packaged as part of Microsoft Office 2007 may soon be available for use at Evergreen. Until such time, be cautious in using the newer version because your presentation files may not open on Evergreen computers using the older version. PowerPoint 2007 uses .pptx as an extension to distinguish it's propriety files from those that will open in previous versions of the program.
