I have Office 2000 Small Business and Windows98. I want to add Powerpoint
and was considering just updating to Office2003. However, this requires
Windows2000 or newer. Is there a way I can just get Powerpoint for my
computer without changing my OS?

You can purchase PPT 2000 or PPT 2002 (aka PPT XP), but make sure you
purchase the *full* version of PPT, not an upgrade version. Office 2000 SBE
was not a qualifying product for PPT 2000/2002 upgrades.

Dear User,
You can buy the powerpoint stand alone (2000.2002 full) from Microsoft /
Amazon, etc.
Here is the MS Link for you

Thanks, but I tried that link (and also checked out Amazon) and both do not
sell the old versions any more. I'll keep looking....

You'll need to check on eBay, or a similar auction site.
