Whenever someone sends me an email with PPS Slide Show, the sounds starts to
play, then a message comes up for me to cancel or convert by buying a key.
Is it necessary for me to buy a key when the only thing I want to be able to
do is hear the sound with the slide show. The slide show will work fine but
I have no sound.

I would guess that you have a trial version of PowerPoint that has expired.
Uninstall it and then install the free PowerPoint viewer from Microsoft's
website.

I uninstalled Powerpoint 2003 and 2007. Then I removed Microsoft Standard
2003 completely from my computer which I never use, then reinstalled
Powerpoint Viewer 2007 and now I have continucous play on the powerpoint
slide shows. I was afraid when I removed Office Standard that I would lose
Microsoft Word Processor but it seems I didn't, thank goodness because i use
that a lot. I am not sure if I will be able to open doc files now or not but
I hope removing Office Standard did not cause me to lose that capability.
Thanks so much for your help which steered me in the right direction to begin
with.

Chances are you *did* lose Wored when you did that. Did yu have the trial
version of Office 2007?

I had the trial version of 2003. I cann ot open a .doc file now. I know I
would always get that same message to convert or cancel when I opened a word
doc file just as on PPS shows. But I could always just cancel and still read
and/or print out the document. Can I just download a file to open .doc files
now that is free or should I just download the trail version of Office? Once
the trial version runs out, then I am sure i would be back in the same
predicament again with the Powerpoint shows though. I really don't use Office
for anything else other than .doc files or Pps files.
