Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Conversion of odg file to ppt

Hi :)
I think Chaim was just getting confused as new users often do.  F and G are very close together on 
the keyboard and in the alphabet and it's not immediately intuitively obvious that the G would be 
for "Graphics" and the P for "Presentation".  It's only obvious in hindsight.  

As Pedro says it is easy to click on 

File - "Save As ..." - "Microsoft Office (97/2000/Xp/2003)"

But a better way would be to simply install LibreOffice on the other machine.  You can have it 
alongside the only office suite that can't read Odp.  If you don't have permissions to install 
stuff on the other machine then install LibreOffice to a Usb-stick using the "Portable Apps" 
approach.  Then you can run LibreOffice from any Windows machine by just plugging in your 
usb-stick.

I really need to test that on a few different lock-down systems

Tom :)

You are creating a presentation in LibreOffice Draw? odg is created in
Draw...

If you are indeed creating your presentation in Draw instead of Impress, the
easiest way is to copy and paste you Draw objects into Impress and then
simply Save As Microsot Powerpoint 97/2000/XP/2003.
