Have used StarOffice and OpenOffice products. They work the same and are
easy to use (almost intuitive). I used to create my presentations in
StarOffice and convert them to Powerpoint to use on windoze boxes.
Just jump in and try to create a simple presentation in Impress, then
use the Help to add the bells and whistles. It took me about 10 minutes
to teach a group of 25 11 and 12 year olds to make reasonable
presentations. You will have no problems.
Stay well and happy
