Rex. Inside PowerPoint, go to the Help menu and select "About Microsoft PowerPoint". That will tell you the exact version you have. If it IS PowerPoint 2002, most of these tutorials will be unclear to you since PowerPoint 2002, in my opinion, is the one program in Office XP that has GREATLY changed. Also, I believe one of the reasons PowerPoint is so baffling to you is it's a multimedia program, which means it's almost solely a visual kind of program. I can only imagine how that concept could boggle the mind of someone who can't see.

Yeah, I'm sure that no matter what version the PowerPoint, the basics will apply for now. I'm like a babe in the woods raised by other babes in the woods when it comes to office applications. Until June, I used a Jaws demo, and wordpad on the computer I was using wouldn't work, so it was either notepad or HJpad, and neither of those even come close to offering the stuff that Office offers. I had to play catchup a great deal when I got this computer because so many things weren't loaded on the old system running 98 SE because there just wasn't memory. Now I've got enough memory and am running XP and it opened new doors for me. I've finally gotten to the point that I have less disagreement with xp than I did, and I'm wanting to get into this stuff that I haven't had the pleasure and opportunity to learn.
