Here are the various software suite options available and November, 2004 prices for version 7. Note that "Presentation" allows you to examine and edit PowerPoint documents, but does not provide the capability to project them and use them in a presentation. See the intermediate topic "Using your PDA for PowerPoint presentations" for more information on that topic.
QuickOffice Premier (v 7.1, $40, November, 2005) offers a suite of programs:

QuickWord (for native MS Word or Quickword documents) |

QuickSheet (for native MS Excel or QuickSheet documents) |

QuickPoint (requires Pitch for PowerPoint presentations) |

Printboy (to print directly from your PDA) |

The entire suite can be purchased or each program can be purchased individually (for about $20 each).
