I deleted the digest that contained someone asking about putting Open Office on an XO to get alternatives to Excel and PowerPoint, but I'd like to suggest that with the features I added to View Slides over the weekend you *could* use View Slides to create and view presentations. What you could do is create individual slides using the Record Activity or one of the Paint Activities. These would create separate image files in the Journal. Then you'd fire up View Slides to add these images to a slide show, arranging them in sequence by renaming the images in the show, and deleting images that aren't needed. Then View Slides could be used to view the presentation. You can even hide the mouse cursor and view the images full screen.
It isn't Power Point, but on the other hand, it isn't Power Point. The pictures at http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4039 tell the story. Unfortunately they tell the story out of sequence. There doesn't seem to be any way to arrange the pictures in order.
