Again with mi idea. I think i must defend it. I agree it will obviously increes the size of the presentation, but, when the user wants to proyect it, usually it burns it on a cd, or in a USB pen drive, so about the space, i think it wont be a problem. Also, i have a question: are you sure it will be smaller (in space) to carry the presentation AND the portable version of Open Office. This includes writer, base, impress, etc.
Cmon, partners, obviously, a simple impress viewer will be smaller than all the Office suite, plus, this is one of the problems of the freeware software. How different is: 1) When you finish your presentation, just click EXPORT>> TO EXECUTABLE WINDOWS 2) Save it and go Than 1) Save your presentation in Open Office native (opd) (with the posibility for others to modify it) 2) Go http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable and download portable Open Office It is only 64.8Mb, so with a DiAL-UP internet coneccion (which is a lot common here, in third world countries) with a download rate of 5.4 kbps you will only be 3.33 hours late. 3) Unpack Open Office. 4) Save both and go So as you see, it is a problem. Maybe its very easy, but, as i say before, thats one of the problems of freeware software. We must made the software more "for dumbs" Check this example: Me, as user, what whould i prefeer? Spend $150 mexican pesos (13.63 USD) in a Microsoft Office pirate copy (which more users here in mexico have; anyone have a license) however when im makin presentations ill just click save, and i wont have any problems. OR I buy a LEGAL copy of Open Office by paying 70 mexican pesos (Around 6.36 USD) and i simple install it as microsoft office (Which is alredy a solluted problem) and when im making presentations, i just save it as exe file, and i have no problems. In addition, i can use school's broad-band internet conection to download Open Office, so i will only spend 2.90 MXN in the CD (0.26 USD) Cor Nouws <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: Hi Max, Max Vallejo Reyna wrote: > [...] > i have a new idea, the posiblility in > Impress to export the presentations into a new format: a executable > windows EXE, wich may contain the presentation with an integrated > Open Office viewer, so we will not need Microsoft Office in the > proyeccions in PCs with Windows OS. > [...] [...] > What do you think about this? I would consider this a valuable functionality. This apart from how difficult it is to accomplish .... Also apart from that it is increasingly easy to carry your own OpenOffice.org environment (on a USB-stick). Just making a presentation and sending is as an executable (other than PDF or HMTL) is super. > P.D. Im sorry if i have somo ortographic mistaques, my native > language is spanish.
