You can purchase a legal copy from the microsoft website and receive it by downloading it. You can visit the Microsoft kiosk/shop at Yongsan market (terminal building - 3rd floor 4 stalls from the "pedway over the railyard").

You can get other unauthorised distribution copies with software like limewire ( http://www.limewire.com ) or torrents ( http://www.bittorrent.com ).

You can also get an unauthorized copy of MS-office from the street software vendors or in the tunnel at yongsan.

You may want to download and install Open Office (www.openoffice.org). It's an open source (free) word processing program that comes with a built in program that creates and edits Powerpoint. Works great!

I second the recommendation to get OpenOffice. OpenOffice's presentation program is called OpenOffice Impress and is wonderful. If you wish, you can download two copies of it: one in English and one in Korean. The website also has a free forum with free tutorials and free support.

I certainly don't advocate getting an illegal copy of PowerPoint. Come to think of it, I don't advocate getting an authorized copy of that lousy program anyway.
