If you have been using PowerPoint

PowerPoint 97 or 2000, PowerPoint 2003 will be a whole new
adventure. For those using PowerPoint XP/2002, you will find many exciting new
features. Almost everything is now “graphical.” So, when PowerPoint loads, the
appearance of the monitor screen will be very different. Once you get used to the new
2003 features (which apply to all Office 2003 modules) we think you’ll find it much
easier to use as you create and edit your PowerPoint slides.
