Hi all,
I'm trying to open PPS files but *not* in presentation mode.
For some reason, all presentation files, are opened in presentation
mode, and when I hit ESC, LO just closes. Pressing F5 does nothing, and
right click does not give me an option.
I read online that I need to rename files,

Hi,
Thanks for sharing! Nice story.
Being the only Linux/Libreoffice user at my workplace I now get requests
like: could you open this MS Word/MS excel 2007/2010 which I can't open
on my XP version? or I know you have a programme which can save a PDF
of this document out of the box... etc.
Do not forget that MS Op Systems and Office apps gave us universal

Fantastic :) Yes, MS Office is very different from one machine to the next.
Something simple like printer settings can significantly change the appearance
of a document. If the version of MSO is different, say the school used 2010

at home you had 2007 or 2003 then breakages are likely.

I think you only need to copypaste the pps and then rename the ending from

untouched as possible just in case!

Reverse experience here. I stopped doing maintenance on my computers after I

How true. I prefer the right click menus in Gimp, which luckily they

Yep!
In the last 8 years since switching to iMAC, I have only had about 4
fixes to apply (including release upgrades).
Occasional blue screens are unacceptable if you have work to do.
I do not use LibreOffice to the same extent some users on this forum do.
So I cannot speak on that.

If memory serves me correctly, iMAC's Unix kernel IS Linux.
MAC OS X is absolutely built on top of a Unix kernel from NextStep.
