No. You do not have to purchase "Microsoft Office" software [which comes with PowerPoint].

You can download and install Microsoft's free PowerPoint Viewer 2003 which you can use to view and print presentations, but you cannot edit them using the free viewer.

The 'Viewer' works with presentations created in the following MS Office programs: Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 | Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 | Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 | Microsoft PowerPoint 97

Note: Microsoft also offers two other free 'viewers' - Excel Viewer 2003 | Word Viewer 2003

Good Luck!

 

fast replies..thankyou.
