Hi, Answer to all your Questions is Open Office. Open Office allows you to export your documents & presentations in the most of the available formats. Its easy to convert from one format to another in Open Office just choose Save As & choose the type of format you want & save it. Open Office comes Pre installed in Most of the Linux Destros I dont know about Debian 4.0 Etch if you don't have Open Office then Download & install it(http://www.openoffice.org/).
Hope this helps.
