Re: [libreoffice-users] Save Powerpoint presentation as executable

Hi :)
There are problems with PowerPoint.

Pp can't use an Android or iThing as a remote-control for flicking between
slides.  Impress can.  Pp can't be installed to a usb-stick as a Portable
App or WinPenPack so it relies on having permissions and time to install to
the machine being used.  If you DO have permissions then installing
LibreOffice/OpenOffice is faster and doesn't need a license.

Regards from
Tom :)
