Using and changing settings in Power Point
...Viewer, that is.
As a student I need to download, read and print out my notes sent in ppt documents.
I had viewer 97 and found I couldn't print them out in the 'notes' version, only as the documents were presented.
Just this morning I downloaded Viewer 2003 thinking it'd offer me more options but it offers less. I have to issue all commands from the keyboard and press Esc to get out of it.
I'd like to 1) print in b/w notes version. 2) if possible have control over the screen size.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!

Probably not what you want to hear, but you might consider buying Microsoft Office. There is a Student and Teacher version, fully functional, available at a lower price than the standard version. Still on the high side of $100, but the question is what is it worth to get all the functionality that you need/want?

Hey Tow_guy thanks for your quick response! I have Office, basic 2003. When I ordered my computer 2 years ago, I had no great need for ppt so I opted against the version with Power Point.
As much as I find I need it, I would not be opposed to purchasing it, if the full version will give me the functionality I need. Can I get it as an add on to what I have or must I get the whole suite?
Thanks again!

I don't have a lot of experience with power point but is this what you are looking to do?

You are not alone in purchasing less than you need. Many people fail to purchase a version of office, some don't buy it at all, right for their needs. Consider this a lesson learned.
I don;t think you can update your office to a version that includes PowerPoint. I think you will have to bite the bullet and buy a full version, but do take advantage of the student discount.

Thanks for the responses.
Now would all of my current settings be saved if I were to go for the Student/Teacher edition?
I'm a bit wary as I've had no major hardware or software glitches in the 2+ years I've owned this machine (Dell 4600) in fact it's been as close to problem free as your going to get.
