Jeff: You captured the question perfectly. I wasn't aware of the
specifics regarding how PowerPoint accomplished this, but what you
describe is precisely what this user wants to achieve. (Actually, the
latter of your two paragraphs is what we're after; in this case, we
don't need a "viewer" since the person opening up the file also has
OOo. But we want the file to open as a slideshow.)
I searched through Impress Help and could not find a way to do this.
Can anyone tell me if I'm missing something? Thanks.

Subject: Re: [users] Any way to save an Impress file so it opens in
slide show view?
In PowerPoint, in addition to the traditional .ppt format, you could
select a couple other options for saving presentations. One of these
included saving a "viewer" with the file, so you did not have to have
PowerPoint to view the presentation iirc.
There was also an option to save the file as a PowerPoint slideshow
(.pps extension I believe). If you did that and opened the file on a
computer with PowerPoint installed, it would launch the file directly
into the "slideshow " mode instead of "design" mode. Some consider this
to be a much more professional and cleaner way to do the presentation -
your audience is not interested in seeing the design interface of
PowerPoint (or in our case, Impress).
