My wife created a .ppt presentation at her workplace, using a 2003 version of PowerPoint. On her PC computer there, it plays perfectly: the slide animations work (elements slide in/spin around, etc.), and the narration (unique to each slide) plays as expected.

But when I import the .ppt file (from a folder containing all the sound files in wav format) into openoffice.org/impress: a. it's very slow to import; b. while all the slides are there, the sound is no longer there unless I re-link it to each slide; and c. the animations play fitfully or not at all (I have to click each slide to see - most of - the animations, i.e. text and images associated with the main image).

I am using oo.org 3.1 on an intel iMac, OS 10.4.11, 2 MB RAM, 2 GHz cpu.

Any way I can do it better? Any little tricks I'm overlooking? Or is PowerPoint just a big pain to anyone not using Microsoft's original program?
