downloading powerpoint update

[Guest]

I have Office XP for Small Business. The Microsoft site says this qualifies
me to purchase the upgrade to Powerpoint. However, my version of Office XP
does not have powerpoint. Can I still purchase and install the upgrade for
powerpoint?

Yes, but it must be the upgrade to PowerPoint 2003. The upgrade to PowerPoint
2002 cannot be applied successfully if you have the Small Business Edition of
Office XP. This was very confusing and frustrating to customers with 2002, so
when 2003 was released Microsoft made sure that the upgrade to PowerPoint 2003
would work with the SBE version of Office XP.

I'm not sure I understand. I have the 2002 Small Business Edition of Office
that was installed on the computer when I purchasedit from the manufacturer.
Are you saying that I can download the 2003 Powerpoint edition for $109 and
it will work with my Office XP Small Business?

Yes, you can use the PowerPoint 2003 upgrade version over Office 2002 SBE -
and applications like Word 2002 and Excel 2002 will work well with
PowerPoint 2003.

Where are you downloading PowerPoint 2003 from?
