I have to agree with James - MSPowerPoint files do not open nicely in
OOoImpress. Although it is true that had the file been created in
OOoInpress it would open far cleaner in OOoImpress, it is essentially
the same argument that MSOffice people like to take:
"Well, it'd've open fine if you used Microsoft Office"
and as such I personally don't think it's something that should be
promoted.
Just my 2 pence.
Grant.
