Office 2003 Basic Edition doesn't include PowerPoint.

The 2007 trial version will include PowerPoint but installing it may cause
problems for your existing 2003 installation or replace it altogether, and the
trial will "expire" after a month or so. That could leave you with no working
copy of Office. Let's not do that.

But do you have an Office 2003 CD? If so, you'd be able to install it again in
the event of any problems.
