Hello BBoarders! In order to do work at home on my PC/AT Compatible, I need the equivalent of Microsoft's PowerPoint slide preparation program. I need the ability to transfer slide shows between my MAC II at work (running PowerPoint) and my home AT Compatible. I have been unable to find it in advertisements. After contacting Microsoft, I was told that PowerPoint does not exist for the IBM PC/XT/AT/Compatible world. My questions are: 1. If not, does an equivalent product exist? What slide production software do you use? How do you like it? Can it produce slides in a format that can be imported by PowerPoint? 2. If so, can the slides it produces be transported to a MAC II without loss of attributes, layout, or special characters? Please e-mail to me, and I will summarize to the net. Thanks, George =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= George J.
