Starting version 2010, Microsoft Office comes in 32-bit version as well as 64-bit version.
While the 32-bit version can be installed on 32-bit as well as 64-bit version of
Windows, the 64-bit version can be installed on 64-bit version of Windows only.
If you are running a 64-bit version of Windows, you can use the following
steps to determine if you are running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of
Microsoft Office:
PowerPoint 2013 |
PowerPoint 2010 |
- Select the File tab or press Alt+F key
combination.
- Click Account button in the left pane.
- Click About PowerPoint button in the right pane.
- Look at the first message in the dialog box. On 32-bit
version, it reads something like:
Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2013 ..... 32-bit
On 64-bit version it reads something like:
Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2013 ..... 64-bit
- Click OK button to dismiss the dialog box.

- Select the File tab or press Alt+F key
combination.
- Click Help button in the left pane.
- In the right pane, look for Version under the About Microsoft
PowerPoint section. On 32-bit version, it reads something like:
Version: 14.0.nnnn.mmmm (32-bit)
On 64-bit version, it reads something like:
