Greg - I use Neo Office at work and open excel spreadsheets and resave
to the excel format without a problem as Dan said. It does ask me if
I REALLY want to save to excel format instead of .odt (open document
format) - I say yes and have never had a problem with other people
being able to open it in Microsoft excel.
Hope this helps. Intend to try Open Office myself to compare the 2.
Regards - Lona

David,
Thanks. One clarification. I am not trying to create PowerPoint
files in Open Office. I am interested in creating PowerPoint files
in PowerPoint. What I am not sure of is if these PowerPoint files
can then be opened/ read by Open Office.
Thanks,
Greg

she should be able to to the required work with OpenOffice, and it
should work with Windows.... with that being said, i don't know
about creating PowerPoint files with that program... that you would
have to research. Sorry for a lack of information reguarding that
aspect of OpenOffice. I do recommend OO (OpenOffice) to students i
know, as it is free (Open Source) and will save files created with
it to most Windows-compatible programs.

Hi folks,
My daughter came home today with a homework assignment (due
Friday) to
put together a PowerPoint presentation about Indians. Fine. The
teacher is
also recommending that we download and use Open Office.
I'm not familiar with Open office and really don't want to stay
up for
the next two nights trying to learn it so that I can help her. My
question
is, if she does the work in PowerPoint on a Mac, which I am
familiar with,
can she take the data file to school and open it in Open Office on
a PC?
Thanks,
Greg
