Hi I have used StarOffice 5.2 successfully for a long time now. With few exceptions it reads PPT-files correctly, and the faults are not difficult to correct. (text-box might be a little bigger because bigger font etc...) So install StarOffice, and start playing with it. It is different, but works nicely, and when You get used to it, it actually is a nice piece of SW. Jaska. Viestissä Torstai 20. Joulukuuta 2001 23:05, Clayton Cornell kirjoitti:
At the end of january I'll do a seminar about Linux where I work. It won't be easy because I am the only one who knows some little thing on the matter and I'll face a front of Windows or Apple users (already facing them). I hesitate how I'll present it (excuse my bad english). Powerpoint is not available yet on Linux. I just have my two laptops (one PC and one iBook both with SuSE 7.x). Is there something equivalent to Powerpoint?
Give the Presentation tool in StarOffice6 a try. I have used it a couple of times, and it works fine for creating presentations - it can work with PPT native files too if you need to.
