How or what tools are available for converting a Corel Presentations Show (.shw) [versions 8, 9, 10, 11, and
12] to a Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Presentation (.ppt)? (other than using the Corel WordPerfect Office 12
Trial, it lasts for only so long you know)

I should strongly note that I do not have the Corel Presentations software.


Basically, I'm asking if there are any (free, if possible) converters out there to convert these files?

If not, how/where would one suggest this to Microsoft?

That article suggests that I already have Corel Presentations (the "old software"), which I DON'T and the
Corel WordPerfect Office 12 Trial expired.



Okay, lets put it this way:

The ONLY presentation software which I have legally purchased AND installed is Microsoft PowerPoint 2003.

There is no "Import" feature in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003.

My Corel WordPerfect Office 12 Trial had expired.

I've still got some Corel Presentations to be converted to Microsoft PowerPoint 2003.

I'm NOT looking to go out and buy Corel WordPerfect Office (which includes Corel Presentations) if all I'm
going to use it for is to convert some Corel Presentations to Microsoft PowerPoint 2003.

There's no converter in PPT that'll allow you to open Corel Presentations
files, unfortunately.

If you know who created the files, perhaps you could have them save as PPT or
find somebody who's got Corel Presentations to do the deed for you.
