In this article, a beamer template is provided which can be used as is or with minimum modification.

Powerpoint is perhaps better suited for non-mathematical presentations, whereas beamer shines in there.
Please copy the following codes and paste it in your favorite TeX processor (for example, WinEdt).

There are other options
There are other ways to process LaTeX file in Windows. Emacs and XEmacs -based solutions are also available. However, WinEdt is probably easier of them. Please write about other software available today.
