Hello all,

Does anyone know how to transform a propriatory presentation created with
MS powerpoint (.ppt) to a free format using free tools, on a free system?

i.e., I prefer not to buy Adobe Acrobat writer, and an answer such as
"In powerpoint, press "save as" is legitimate, but I want something
better. I want to be able to do it at home, on my Linux only.

A tool which creates a navigateable standard html is the best thing, if
there is such. IIRC, powerpoint itself creates an html which is totally
uneditable by a human eye, and I am not sure regarding its compilance with
standarts and hence portablility.

Thanks,

Orna.


OpenOffice has a PDF export, as well as HTML export. I'm not sure how much better it's HTML export is going to be from PowerPoint's, but it does produce both a text and a graphical version. The security lectures I gave in Haifux that are available from my site were exported this way. I have since switched to exporting PDFs (again, using OO), but it should give you an idea.
