Need powerpoint for project!

As far as I know there isn't a free version of powerpoint (Besides just a powerpoint viewer where you can view files but not create or modify them).
Everyone seems to rave about openoffice and there is some presentation program in it. It may even save in "powerpoint compatible" files. Worth looking into at least.

Is openoffice's presentation program compatible with powerpoint, I will have to show this at school, and it is less likely that I will be able to install openoffice at school.

Yes, just save it as a powerpoint file.
Don't get fancy with animation, and stick with the basic fonts.
Alot of the fancy stuff does not port back and forth well.
If you want to get fancy, just make a webpage, with a forward and back button, and code everything in HTML.
