Keeping PowerPoint with animation for sharing

First, I don’t know if someone else posted the similar topic before, but I have searched the forum and didn’t find the similar posts.
My trouble is: I have a friend on a Macintosh and no PowerPoint program. Can I somehow save my presentation which includes some animation so that I can share it with my friend although he doesn’t have PowerPoint?

 

Hi!
Why not convert your ppt to DVD or video, so that your friend can view it without ppt program even no needing a computer.
You can google this kind of program, ther are lots of.

 

Supposedly Neooffice which is mac version of Openoffice can handle the opening of Windows ppt. Don't know much about it but you can research this yourself and perhaps recommend the downloading of Neooffice to your friend:

Don't know what version your powerpoint is so you may want to pay attention to any version specifics while doing research.

 

Power Point also used to have feature called Pack and Go which permitted others to view a PP presentation with no Office or Office compatable software on their machines. Its been so long since I used this feature, I don't know if it still exists. That was a feature in Office 2000 which permitted the original author to bundle a self-contained "viewer" with a PP presentation.
