What version of Office is necessary to get all of these Powerpoint functions? I still have Office 2007

If you can find a stand-alone version of PPT 2016 for most of the features, that will work. But I do recommend getting the Office 365 subscription which is $6.95 a month. There is a PPT feature or two that doesn't work with WIN 7, which I'm still using. The big one missing for me is the ability to export as animated GIFs.
