Hi Jennifer
I am using Open Office 2.0 and am using the Impress power point programme for the first time. My problem is that certain features that I am using do not "survive" saving, closing, and re-opening the document. The two main problems are:

I'm guessing that you are saving your presentation as a Microsoft Powerpoint file. Impress's native file format is an OpenDocument Presentation file (with the file extension .odp). If you were to save your document this way, no features would be lost. When you save your document as a Microsoft file, there is always the possibility that you might lose some formatting. This is because Impress and Powerpoint are similar but not identical in their features, and also because Microsoft have not made public how their file format works. Here is my recommendations: 1. If you are able to use OpenOffice.org at work to display the presentation, then it is better to use the OpenDocument format the whole time. No information will be lost. 2. If you have to use Microsoft Office to display the presentation at work, then I recomment that you use the OpenDocument format while you are creating the presentation in OpenOffice, then save the document as a Powerpoint presentation after that. I recommend that you open the document in Powerpoint and check it before doing the presentation - you may find you need to do some adjustments. 3. If you are not using transitions in your presentation, you might want to consider using Adobe Acrobat to do the presentation. After creating the presentation, you can export as Adobe Acrobat, and all formatting should be retained perfectly, including fonts. Hope I've been clear, and the above helps.
