Hi, I am attempting to find an openoffice powerpower point viewer.
<attitude=on> Don't call it that. If you want people to stop calling any presentation "Power Point" start by referring to it as a "Presentation Viewer" or more OpenOffice.org/StarOffice centric, an "Impress Viewer." Some of us were using StarImpress back in the mid-'90s, especially when it was far better than PowerPoint. ;-> </attitude>
Also I dont think there is a way from the command line to go fullscreen? not sure. Anyone know of a good power point viewer for centos?
^^^^^^^^^^^ STOP! I'm serious, this is the problem in the community right now. StarImpress has been around for over a decade, and the generic term is "Presentation" not "Power Point(R)".
or a way to make impress startup and go into slideshow mode?
You could actually build a self-contained, self-executing StarImpress slideshow back in StarOffice 5. I used to do it all-the-time.
In OpenOffice.org/StarOffice 6+, you can now export a Flash presentation. It works very good, assuming you use fonts that are Flash-friendly.
