Thanks for replying, Nicolas & Marco... If that is the case, then that means we will never be able to upload "modifiable" presentations :( The problem is that most presentations are in PPT format or in ODF format, and asking users to upload in a new editable format really limits the number of presentations that can be uploaded and shared. In theory, we can write some code to scan the files (they are zip files, so it's not hard to find out what's inside). and limit what uploaders can put in the ODF files. I think XML and graphic files are valid file types. May be a few hundred lines of Perl or Python will do the job... provided that there are helper utilities are available :D I guess I will check with the ODF guys. BTW, how likely will we enble ODF upload support if I can come up with such a filter??
