Came this utterance fomulated by Graham Smith to my mailbox:
It seems standard practice to create posters in PowerPoint ( at
least it is at my University). As part of my subtle promotion of OOo
I would like to provide some guidance on using OOo instead.
Does anyone know of some readily available guidance aimed at using
OOo for this purpose. My google search has only come up with
PowerPoint stuff, plus a "you can also do this in OpenOffice"
mention.
So it would be useful if there was something out there that was
specifically aimed at OOo especially if it pointed out any
advantages of OOo over PowerPoint.
I'd look to Draw as the better tool for the task. You probably want to
make the Migration Guide and the Draw Guide available on your intranet
and have read them yourself, ready to field questions. Sorry, OO.o
v2.x only at this stage:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html
I should also have mentioned the Getting Started Guide which contains an
introductory chapter to Draw, which you should make recommended reading
for anyone doing posters. For OO.o v2.x at the above link and for OO.o
v3.x here:

=====================
If you are including formulas, I would also take a look at Smath.
