I second this... I've not done a presentation in anything but Scribus for years. You can include transition effects etc in PDF. http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=pdfexport4 Seeing my colleagues here struggle with Office/OpenOffice "helpfully" changing the layout depending on the machine which opens the files. Once in PDF format the presentation displays exactly the same. I do recommend using Adobe Reader for the demo/presentation. Hope that helps, Peter
