So whine at "dave" for posting about a MSFT product that can only be used on MSFT Windows or, if he's feeling lucky, Wine. Yet you're posting using a Microsoft product (Outlook Express) on a Microsoft platform (Macintosh, after Apple sold Billzebub its soul for 100 million). There are PowerPoint viewers available for the Mac:

I suppose those PowerPoint files can be exported to sets of GIFs, if we don't mind dissing the green-screen-only crowd...
