That makes me curious.

Does that mean that each page will be exported to a slide?

What is the sense in doing that?

And why only Powerpoint and not the ODF Presentation format?

Wouldn't it make more sense to allow Impress to import Writer documents
so that they can be saved as ppt file from Impress?

This would give the user much more control about the result as she
actually can see it before the exported file is created. Exporting
slides from Writer OTOH can create quite surprising results that look
very different to what the user sees. And as far as I can see
implementing an import of odt files into Impress is *much* easier than
writing a ppt export in Writer, thanks to ODF's application independent
way of storing text (Impress "just" needs to ignore some parts or
convert them to what fits best).

Ciao,
Mathias
