<p>I would be first to agree. </p><p>Ideally, if this project ever goes to a Linux version, use of PowerPoint will be an issue. </p><p>There is always an option of opening a PowerPoint file through OpenOffice. Is there any chance of integrating OpenOffice and openlp so that maybe openlp processes the file through Impress? </p><p>Matter of fact, OpenOffice just released version 2.1 which now provides real dual monitor support in Impress. So, that should be nice. </p><p>Is there no way to bring in a PowerPoint file without the actual program? We have been testing Presentation Manager ( www.presentationmngr.com ) and it seems to import PowerPoint without the need of PowerPoint being installed. </p><p>(I will try to verify this.)</p><p> Kevin L.</p>
