The PowerPoint Newsgroup

There's a group of friendly people who'll answer your questions and help solve your PowerPoint problems. All you need to do is ask your question in the PowerPoint newsgroup.

How do I find this newsgroup?

Windows users: If you use Windows Mail, Outlook Express or another program that can read newsgroups click here

Or click here to use your browser to read a web version of the newsgroup..

BUT .... newsgroup messages don't always make it into the web view; since most answers to questions seem to come from newsgroup users, we don't recommend the web view.

Instead, point your browser to Google Groups, specifically: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.powerpoint/topics.

To use the Macintosh PowerPoint newsgroups

This explains how to avoid the (often dysfunctional) web forums and use the newsgroup directly via Entourage

But if you need to use a browser instead, Mac users can click here

As with the Windows PowerPoint group, the web view is frequently broken, so for now we can't recommend using it.
Instead, use Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.powerpoint/topics.

Support for other Microsoft products

If you're looking for support for another MS product, try copying this into your browser and editing it a bit:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.PROGRAM-NAME

Substitute the name of the program you're interested in, all in lowercase letters (publisher, for example) in place of PROGRAM-NAME

Please: Out of respect to our members who pay metered rates for dial-up connect time, please do not post attachments in this newsgroup. Also, send your posts in plain text, not HTML.
