I ordered this so my son could use it for school, but he can't make it interface with the powerpoint 3 at school, so he's not using it. So, really can't give it an accurate review.

Bill Gates does it again when he does not allow a former or earlier version of his software programs to interface or 'communicate' with a newer version. He has done this multiple times. EXAMPLE: He created versions of MS Publisher that do not open previous work done with a different version.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to create projects or designs with one version of Power Point and then thinking to upgrade (that one would think would have greater capabilities on your work)...instead to find that all your previous work is no longer viewable or workable on the new version? What a huge waste of time!

Want a clue...go to Apple and a Mac. With the student versions available to buy at huge discounts on software, and good interface and not having to fight with VISTA junk, and no interface between version updates with the more creative software of Microsoft...all Gates has done is drive us all elsewhere with his insensitivity.

I am very pleased with Powerpoint Home/Student 2007. I just got it recently and find that it is a slight improvement over the prior version in a stylistic sense. I would highly recommend the 2007 version to anyone in the market for a VERY sophisticated Powerpoint program, but with a lower price than more recent versions.

It is a decent product for home or student. Lacks some of the heavy duty elements needed for high level presentations, but if you don't need that, this is the product you want.

Like Microsofts' Vista, this software is all hookum and no substances. There is no improvement over the previous Powerpoint 2003 program, which is what I hoped to find. In fact, the menu screens appear to be the only change and they have been made much harder to intuit and use.

After a few days of trying this program, I gave it away to the Public Library.

I had the most difficulty opening the container it comes in! I'm pretty handy about mechanical things but there are no instructions about how to open the package. I was disassembling it when I realized that it had a pivot and by removing the top tape it would open.

The product works as expected.
