You could try the "Open office" suite (freeware, from Sun Microsystems). There's a setting for 'translating' Microsoft <>Open office... not real sure on the Apple aspect, but it's free, so worth a look. For the global settings: Oo> Tools> Options> Load/Save>Microsoft: here check whether you want Oo to handle incoming Microsoft 'stuff' (L) and/or to have your 'stuff' saved so that it can be exported to a Microsoft application (S).

You would need PowerPoint for the Mac OR a Mac PowerPoint Viewer OR Keynote on you Mac which will be able to open a PowerPoint file. There may be other possibilities, but I know these will work.

There is always a version trouble when emailing or transfering a PowerPoint presentation. Effects may get lost. Sounds won't play. Or else problems. To be safe, you can try to save the MS presentation onto a DVD disc, then take the DVD and play it on the Apple Laptop. Or convert the presentation to video and publish it on YouTube, so you can copy from YouTube to the Mac. Tools for converting the PowerPoint presentation to DVD and video: Moyea PPT to DVD Burner (free download at http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/ppt_to_dvd/) I have discussed the PowerPoint emailing and crossplatform playing at the blog http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/blog/ Hope it help!
