It’s been a busy week here at The Microsoft Observer. With the Windows 7 launch behind us, Microsoft looked ahead to the launch of the Office 2010 productivity suite and released its beta out to the developer community. Also, the company’s shareholder meeting in New York City had interesting news around both Windows sales since the launch and its mobile device strategy.

About the best you're going to get from the Microsoft site is a Powerpoint PLAYER.
If you want WORD or POWERPOINT programs, you'll have to purchase them.
Good luck.

WordPerfect has just what you want. I will let someone who uses it every day to reply and give you step by step on the procedure.
May I answer your last question?
You cannot download "EXCEL" unless you have microsoft "OFFICE" of which Excel is a part.
If you just want a spreadsheet program exactly like Excel you can get it free from :
http://www.openoffice.org
It it is called another name (CALC) but is still the spreadsheet program and works exactly like Excel.
As well Open Office has duplicate programs for WORD and other OFFICE applications.
Hope this helps.

Microsoft is the business name and Windows is the product. Think of it this way…. McDonalds being the name of the company and Big Mac being the product.

MS Word and MS PowerPoint are applications available in the MS Office suite. If you installed MS Office 2003 in its entirety, then PowerPoint should have been installed.
PowerPoint isn't typically opened while you're in Word – in other words, there's no menu option or toolbar button or keyboard shortcut in Word that automatically runs PowerPoint.
You can create a hyperlink in Word that runs PowerPoint by selecting some text (or an image if you like), then right-clicking and selecting Hyyperlink.
Then, in the "Link To" frame on the left side, make sure the Existing File or Web Page is selected.
Next, click the arrow on the far right side of the "Look In" option and select Local Disk C.
Then, double-click on the Program Files Folder.
Next, double-click on the Microsoft Office folder. Next, double-click on the Office11 folder (it will have a similar name if you're not using Office 2003).
Then, double-click on the POWERPNT.EXE file.
Now, to run PowerPoint, you can hold down your Ctrl key while clicking on the text (or image) that is now a hyperlink. You'll probably get a couple messages about the dangers of hyperlinks and viruses but, since you created the link and know it's safe, you can simply click "Yes" or "OK" to continue to run PowerPoint.
Hope that clarifies things……

I use Micro Soft Works word processor; on the initial page set up I have no idea how many pages this would translate into, but by clicking on file I found an area for page set up which, once it is set up, will be the approximate amount of pages contained in a book with this same trim size. For instance, I can set the page to 5.25 x 8 inches or 6 x 9 inches and a book with this same trim size would contain the number of pages I have written on my computer. Hope this helps.
