nadia - here's what i've found on this so far:
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Jtneill#odp_to_mw_txt
After trying a lot of combinations I found these manual steps resulted
in a pretty good conversion of a large (100 slide) OO Impress file into
MediaWiki syntax (see /Sandbox/odp to txt3):
* Using OO Impress, save odp as ppt
* Using MS PPT, ppt save as rtf
* Using OO Writer, open rtf and save as html
* Using OO Writer, open html and export as mediawiki syntax
* Using a text editor, open txt and search and replace:
o replace <center> with == and </center> with ==
o replace # with * (if you want bullets rather than numbers)
o âEUR^(TM) with '
o âEUR~ with '
o âEUR? with
o âEUR" with -
o ïfY" with <
o ïf with >
Note that this approach does not include:
* Images
* Notes
i.e. it just provides the viewable slide headings and text
