I have PowerPoint 2002 SP3 installed which I am learning to use.  
  
I was referred to  
  
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/animtechnqs.aspx but it will not  
  
let me download animtech.exe.  From googling some newslists I am guessing it  
  
is because I do not have PP2000 installed.  
  
I am sure it will run in PP 2002 if I can somehow download it.  Is there a  
  
way to download it without having PP 2000 (which I do not have) installed?  
  
Thanks.

Jeff,  
  
Installing this has nothing to do with whether or not you have PowerPoint  
  
2000. In fact, when you "install" this, all it does is unpack a  
  
PowerPoint presentation that shows you some advanced things you can do  
  
with animation. As Ute said, many of these things are much easier to do  
  
in the newer versions of PowerPoint in other ways, but they are still  
  
neat tricks, and you can't really do them any other way in 2000. Perhaps,  
  
you have some virus protection or firewall that is preventing you from  
  
downloading a .exe. I just downloaded it and "installed" it without any  
  
problem, and I have PowerPoint 2003.

not  
  
it  
  
Jeff,  
  
I think, you don't need that file.  It describes how to fake sophisticated  
  
animations with PPT 2000.  But animation has improved a lot in PPT 2002 (and  
  
2003).  
  
Have a look at the training courses for the newer versions of Office:
