At least, this is the answer which has always been given on these lists by the developers, for years.

This is a dumb objection. You can/have to get portable openoffice just once. And you can do just like you are doing with OpenOffice, ie, in your words: > i can use school's broad-band internet conection to download Open > Office So, if the problem is only how *you* can plug your USB drive in somebody else'se windows computer and run the Impress presentations on that drive _yourself_, just put also portable openoffice on it (without any packing, zipping etc...) and use it to run the slideshow. That way, it will also be publicity for OO.o, since the participants will see the real thing in action. If you want to _distribute_ the presentation instead, then try to convert it to Flash as others have suggested and if it works forget the .exe route (I don't know how complete Flash conversion is, never used it myself).
