[Mr. Green] [Shocked] :D Excuse me, I bet a little more... Here is no contradictions. Fully compatible - regarding to ppt version 2003 (as seems to me), just that I meant. and Almost same - regarding to the possibilities (probably 90% of them, means basic, are similar) As about "Gimp" - for me is more than enough, first - since it's free, second - I haven't so much money for "Photoshop", bcoz this is a Professional Program Complex, (sure I still have it, but exclusively for non-commercial purposes, not for my work (and for learning, or as demo)). :D Anyway I just proposed to him a solution, probably temporary.
