Power point is not really multimedia, at least not the way I think of it. I agree there is a lack of good software for presentation. ooimpress is almost as good as powerpoint, but there is no templates given ( maybe on the internet ), and, it could be far better, with style sheet, and other thing. The same goes for kpresenter. Mick
