Hi, Am frequently asked to prepare presentations for hardware supplied on site by course organisers etc etc. They only ever have win and powerpoint. Does anyone know of a way of creating powerpoint compatible presentations under linux? Please do not suggest Star ffice (unless you have to) it scattered so many files everywhere when I tried to install it and then refuses to install because it says it is time expired and etc etc etc . Many thanks Francesco -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I am afraid so :( StarOffice is the only Linux office package, that is capable of exporting PowerPoint. AFAIK Applix can do so as well, if you buy a separate filter pack. Don't know about Corel WP Office...

StarOffice 5.2 is very much more stable and usable, have a try. :-) Dennis/sg

Than you must have been trying an ancient version. The current version (5.2) is free to use, and even does an acceptible in importing/exporting Word97 files. And that means someting... Also, time expiring versions are already far more than a year superseded by versions which don't expire. You are barking up the wrong tree...
