I know that Impress can save in Powerpoint format, with the appropriate
extension. Have you tried that, and if so, does it help?
(Impress/Powerpoint aren't programs I need, so I have no way of knowing
on my own.)
Compatibility (beyond just "can it read/write the format?") is the
killer. Sometimes you just have to use Powerpoint because even though
you can build "compatible" files in Keynote, Impress, or Google
Presentations, they don't look the same when you have to put them on a
thumb drive and hand them to the guy with the computer connected to the
projector.
Guys, this thread is just turning into trolling. If you don't like
Libre/Open Office and you just have to use MS Office, go use Windows and
quite trolling on a Linux mailing list. Or at the very least take the
whining about the nuances of similarity to a LibreOffice or OpenOffice
mailing list.
Documents look slightly different between incarnations of the office
package, OS and fonts used anyway, so short of actually exporting
everything as a PDF and using that instead, you'll never get 100%
identical appearance.
