Actually, this newsgroup is for Access, the MS database program.
However, FWIW, I am using Office 2000 on my new Win XP computer. But I
don't use Powerpoint, so I can't say anything about that.... but the
other programs work fine.

Office2000 programs work fine on WinXP. At least Microsoft Access (the
subject of this newsgroup) does. If you have specific questions about
PowerPoint, please ask in the PowerPoint newsgroup.
