------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 23 13:38:16 +0000 2007 ------- CORRECTION: PowerPoint does not create EXEs. Microsoft has long offered stand- alone viewers for all of the Office applications. Users can download Word, Excel, and PowerPoint viewers. These are small "players" that allow people who don't want or own Office to read/share Office documents. This is similar to the Adobe Reader, which can read but not write PDF files. Right now, presentations created in Impress will play ONLY if you have the OOo suite installed. That's a show-stopper for many people who would like to move to Impress (like me), but need to share their presentations with others who don't have Impress -or- PowerPoint. The export functions are not sufficient, for reasons stated in this thread. The Flash export -could- be a great solution, -if- all the animations and effects were preserved. But the low-hanging fruit would simply be to adopt MSFT's approach, which is, create a version of Impress that uses conditional compilation to disable editing and writing functions, and only supports the player/playback code. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
