This is a resource page in case you decide to do an OPTIONAL Powerpoint presentation!

1. Check with mom and dad to see if you have Microsoft Powerpoint on your home computer. You are all set if you do!

You can download Open Office for FREE if you do not own Powerpoint. Open Office Impress does the same thing as Powerpoint! It can save files as Powerpoint and Microsoft Word files!

 

 

Here is the link to download OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/index.html

 

You'll be all set after mom or dad downloads and installs Open Office.
