I am on my way to being *some years down the road* a professional writer. I hate word97, however its fonts are nice. Now I have 2k, so...Linux doesn't see the install to grab its fonts!?

Re: [newbie] Wine & Powerpoint 97
Marcia, Is there a reason why you don't migrate over to OpenOffice.org? Has MORE features that Powerpoint and runs native.

[newbie] Wine & Powerpoint 97
Dear All, Has anyone used wine to run Powerpont 97 successfully? If so, which wine did you use and what did you have to do to make it work? I know that Codeweavers has a commercial product that runs Powerpoint 2000 but I only have Powerpoint 97 and would like to use that. Thanks.
