I created an Impress presentation from scratch recently, for the Linux Event at Penzance. This was my first time of using it and (if you will excuse the pun) I really was very impressed. The functionality is great and, imho, superior to Powerpoint. By installing Windows open office, you can run your presentation on a Windows machine, if required. I found it quite easy to use. If not too large, I would be happy to convert your presentation to Impress for you. regards Viv > -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
