Powerpoint help

One of my daughter's professors does his notes on slides as a Powerpoint presentation.  He told the students that they could use powerpoint viewer and just print out the presentation on 2-3 pages but when viewed, it is in size 78 font and will take many many pages to print out.  I have the file and I viewed it in ppt viewer.  I didn't see anyway to reduce the font size or to copy and paste it into another program such as word where it could be made smaller.  Is there anyway to reduce the font size in powerpoint viewer or to copy the text to paste into another program such as word for printing?  Or can you only do this if you have the Powerpoint program?  Thank you...

sugar_bearz,

 

You can only "view" a powerpoint presentation with the powerpoint viewer, or "print" 1 slide per page.

If you need to do anything else, you need the full powerpoint software to edit the presentation or print 3 to a page, of change the font size.

You can install OpenOffice ( www.openoffice.org ),  which contains a freeware equivalent of PowerPoint.

This program can be used to both edit PowerPoint presentations,  as well as create new presentations, and saving them to the powerpoint file type.

I was looking up a question about emailing a PowerPoint slide with sound in it and I saw that you were responding to these questions. I have a PowerPoint slide someone sent to me. In it are two sound files that play if you click on the icon for the sound. How do I find that sound and save it to my computer so I can insert it in other slide shows or put it "behind" other icons?

Thanks for any help.
