Once you have installed OpenOffice.org 2.3.0, open it. (Start > All
Programs and find the OpenOffice.org folder which is probably near the
bottom of the menu. Open this folder and click on any one of the icons.)
Once you have filled in the information requested, OOo will open. Use
File > New to find the list of applications by file type. Click
Presentation to open "Impress", OOo's slide show creator/player.
You might also want to get the documentation on the Impress
application. The following is a link to manuals on OOo:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/. You might want to
start with the Impress chapter in the Getting Started Guide, and there is
a complete, more advanced version in the Impress Guide, itself.

If they are using it at school also you may want to install the portable
apps version on a flash drive, www.portableapps.com. This way they will
be using their own version at school and will not have compatibility
issues with saving in microsoft format etc. I teach part-time at a
local college and do all my presentations using OO Impress on the flash
drive with portable apps. Previously my screens were frequently
displayed without a graphics insert, spilling off the bottom of the
screen, etc. Now they just plain work. Portable Apps is another free
GNU licensed project.
