Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] How good is Impress compared to PowerPoint?
IMPRESS does more, has more options; and has been my favorite for
years;
it also allows for saving to PP, etc. - for those who refuse to
leave MSFT ;-)

Hello
Before possibly recommending LibreOffice to a friend who needs an office
suite for her personal use, I need to know how good its Impress component
is compared to PowerPoint.
She won't need to create very sophisticated slides, and won't need to
import
PowerPoint files. It's just to create some presentations for her class. She
has regular office skills, she's not a geek.
If you have extensive experience with both PowerPoint and Impress, would
you
say Impress is good enough or still lacking?
Here's a review:
"Admittedly, PowerPoint still outperforms Impress, yet not by such an
extent
that the difference couldn't be overcome in a release or two. In fact, the
lack of improvements in Impress over the last few years -- particularly in
its audio capabilities -- suggests that for most users the deficiencies are
unimportant."
