I've been searching the internet for a copy of PowerPoint that won't cost me an arm and a leg or even a compatible program that does the same thing, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

I use OpenOffice for presentations. It lets you save to Powerpoint format.

Thank you! You are a life-saver (or at least, an energy/seminar saver :P)

You're welcome. :D

Someone recommended it to me when I complained about having to go in to the Cragg every time I had a presentation to put together.

I know a certain Mr. Bergmann who would be able to hook you up. You should bug him.

You know, you may just be right about that fellow. Thank you!

...meanwhile, somewhere deep in the ether of the web, a name is mentioned. Along with this incantation is the mention of software, and the acquisition thereof. These words have power. Power enough to move the mind and thoughts of the one being called. He has heard this call, and will fulfill his noble duty to provide software where it is needed.

Thank you for the thought! Margaret's already fixed me up though.

No problem. I do recommend OpenOffice simply because it's free and it's not Microsoft. That being said, if you still want the new Office suite, it's coming down the pipe as we speak, and can very easily make its way to you.

I've been using OpenOffice, actually. I quite like it - it's nice and user friendly and Microsoft compatible. *knocks on wood* It's nice to have a proper word processor again (even if all it's doing it yelling at me because of all of the french words :P)
