The Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Viewer allows people who use Microsoft PowerPoint to share their presentations with users who do not have PowerPoint. This product also allows users who wish to post full fidelity PowerPoint presentations on the Internet to expand their online audience to people who might not have PowerPoint. The PowerPoint Viewer allows users who do not have Microsoft PowerPoint Macintosh® Edition to view and print PowerPoint presentations, but it does not allow them to edit PowerPoint presentations.

We encourage you to copy and distribute PowerPoint Viewer to your friends and co-workers or post it on public electronic bulletin boards

Features:

  • Provides full fidelity display of PowerPoint 98 files including the new animations, graphics effects, action settings, hyperlinks, and custom shows.
