Did you miss the email pointing you at OpenOffice.org?

It's not a toy.

Is this because its open source (and free), or is actually better
functionality-wise than ppt?  Are there any scripting tools, like vba with
ppt?  And what sort of swf exporting support is there?

I wouldn't know about the Vba aspect of it (I use it at home not at work
so can't check) but it loads in ppt files and I've had no compatibility
problems so far.

More info here

Scripting - http://framework.openoffice.org/scripting/

You can certainly export from Impress to .swf

I haven't tried either of these features yet, I'm afraid, so can't comment
on how good they are.

Thanks Ian.  I need to investigate server side creation of xls and ppt at
some point (and openoffice is top of the list at the moment), so apologies
for asking questions that would quite easily be solved by rtfm...

Cheers,

Nick
