You can easily convert your presentation (PPT or Impress) to flash. Simply use: File|Export and in File Format click the tab to display "Macromedia Flash (SWF) (.swf)" and save. Be aware that no sounds, timings and/or special animations in the presentation will be saved with it. The end result will be a basic SW Flash of each slide. If you then open that .swf file on a browser on your PC, you can view the presentation to see how it looks (of course this assumes that you have a flash viewer in your browser). Open your browser, then depending on the browser type use file open & negotiate to where the file was saved. Open the file & you'll see the presentation in flash. Note: you'll need to click on each slide to change to the next. cc'd to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This is a mailing list which exists to support users of OpenOffice.org All answers are given by other users who volunteer their time.
