Hello!

You don`t want to go linux... :-)

You should post your question on:

microsoft.public.powerpoint

You can have access to microsoft newsgroup by their server:
news.microsoft.com
It`s free

|
| Any help? Any webpage tutorials on powerpoint?
|
| I hate microsoft. If I was smarter/younger I'd go linux.
