Where is my Powerpoint?

[Randy Monsen]

I bought an XP Professional system with MS Office XP
Small Business suite and it does not appear to include
Powerpoint, though the Powerpoint home page suggests it
should. I can't find it installed on my machine, and the
Office installation disks don't appear to have it on
them, either (at least I don't see an option to install
Powerpoint when I go through setup). Am I getting gypped?

Randy,

XP pro is the windows version and small business does not come with
PowerPoint. Maybe you can get a swap or refund.

You will be eligible to upgrade to the new version which includes
PowerPoint, but it will cost money:

I think you must have looked at the wrong page:

Same thing happened to me. I'm trying to figure out how
to get it.

Any ideas?

Can't I just buy Powerpoint 2002 as a stand-along program
and add it to the Suite?

You can, but if you can wait until late October, you can get an upgrade
price on Office 2003.
