Re: [libreoffice-users] presentation question

Hi :)
If it is going to be on your own machine/laptop/whatever then the best
bet is to install LibreOffice and stick to native format.  In this
case that is Odp (the usual default unless you have carefully changed
it)

It's good to have 'back-up' copies in other formats just in case the
venue does something weird and unlikely such as not allowing you to
use your ownm machine (i've never heard of this happening as they
would rather you risked damage to your machine rather than get their
own one out) or in case your machine doesn't work for some weird
reason.  So if you take back-up copies best to have them on usb-stick
or Cd or something.

I know it is a bit paranoid to have such back-ups but i recently saw a
presentation given by someone whose laptop had died on the way to the
venue.  Actually people commented that they preferred the way he
directly engaged with the audience as they had grown weary of the
usual PowerPoint type presentation.  At another gig they just showed
their photos outside of any kind of presentation software and the
results were much more crisp and high-def.

One advantage that LibreOffice Impress has is that you can supposedly
use an Android phone/tablet as the 2nd screen and as the remote for
flicking to the next slide.  I'm guessing that depends on the laptop
being able to receive wireless signals of some kind.

Tom :)
