Is there any way I can read a .docx file on my CentOS desktop ?
Open Office 3 will do it.
Yep, as well as .xlsx
What about Powerpoint presentations, ie .pptx-files? Do they look anywhere near the original look when opened in MS Office?
No clue - haven't run into one of those yet.
I'm looking into setting up a public computer in our seminar room, running CentOS on an old door-stopper I had handy; a P3/500 with barely 500MB RAM.
Barely, he says. "Barely"....

Actually, I had to swap the disks to a newer machine, the obsolete Dell I had intended for this had a problem with the BIOS or something, so that whenever it rebooted it went into some kind of standby and I had to first turn it off completely and then turn it on again. So much for being environmentally aware and friendly to the nature by reusing old hardware... /8-}
Anyway, I'll continue to look into OOO and pptx.
