Bryan,
THanks for the info. Correct terminology always helps.
I need to presentation files others send me.
After searching google for staroffice presentation player the viewer
was removed in staroffice 5.2. Crazy if you ask me....
So is there an alternative that you are aware for a presentation player?
Thanks so much.
Jerry

Don't call it that. If you want people to stop calling any
presentation "Power Point" start by referring to it as a
"Presentation Viewer" or more OpenOffice.org/StarOffice
centric, an "Impress Viewer." Some of us were using
StarImpress back in the mid-'90s, especially when it was far
better than PowerPoint. ;->

STOP! I'm serious, this is the problem in the community
right now. StarImpress has been around for over a decade,
and the generic term is "Presentation" not "Power Point(R)".

You could actually build a self-contained, self-executing
StarImpress slideshow back in StarOffice 5. I used to do it
all-the-time.
In OpenOffice.org/StarOffice 6+, you can now export a Flash
presentation. It works very good, assuming you use fonts
that are Flash-friendly.
