Hi Lauren
Hello! We downloaded Open Office this month (so I assume it's your
latest version) to create a PowerPoint-type presentation using Open
Office Impress. I took an existing Power Point presentation, adapted it
using Open Office Impress, but now need to present it on a system that
only has Power Point.
Question: will Power Point read Open Office Impress?
Quick Answer: no it won't.
Longer answer: Since you initially opened a Powerpoint presentation, then
OpenOffice would have saved it in the Microsoft Powerpoint format (unless
you explicitly asked it to save in the OpenDocument format). So I imagine
Microsoft Powerpoint should be able to open the presentation.
If you were to create a presentation from scratch using Impress, then you
will have to save the file in the Powerpoint XP format if you want it to
be readable by Powerpoint. To do this, use File / Save As, and select
Microsoft Powerpoint XP as the file type. Or if you are emailing the
presentation, select File / Send / Email as Microsoft Powerpoint.
If you would like the presentation to be usable on any computer (even
computers without Microsoft Office or OpenOffice), export the presentation
as an Adobe Acrobat file, or as Macromedia Flash file. You will lose your
transition effects if you choose this option.
Hope this helps.
Adrian
