Comments and Reviews
The best ppt/pptx viewer. Free and no add. Sad it was stopped...
The linked version of Powerpoint Viewer is the last released by Microsoft; there is also an older version, ie PowerPoint Viewer 2007 ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=048dc840-14e1-467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485 ).
The differences are:
the last version supports files saved from Powerpoint 2010 too, while PowerPoint Viewer 2007 supports files from older versions until Microsoft Powerpoint 2007.
The last version is also more fluid to show the presentation, BUT it contains less fonts than Viewer 2007: the result is that almost all the scripts change font!!!
In PowerPoint Viewer 2007 doesn't happen ( at most a few scripts changes size ) and it don't contort the entire presentation.
In conclusion I prefer PowerPoint Viewer 2007!
