OpenOffice.org's Impress file format is highly compatible with Microsoft's PowerPoint
format. You can open a PowerPoint presentation in Impress, edit it, then save it in its original
PowerPoint format or in Impress format. You can also create a new presentation in Impress
and save it as a PowerPoint file, for sharing your presentation with those who have yet to
discover the free OpenOffice.org office suite. What you cannot do is open an Impress file in
PowerPoint; Microsoft is just not playing nice—yet.
1) Choose File > Save As.
2) Select the location where you want the PowerPoint file saved and type a name for the
file.
3) Under Save As Type choose Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt; pps).
4) Click Save.
1) Launch Impress.
2) Choose File > Open. Under Files of Type make sure that All files (*.*) is displayed.
If it is not, choose it from the drop-down menu.
3) Navigate to the PowerPoint file.
4) Select the file.
5) Click Open.
The PowerPoint file can now be edited and saved as an Impress or PowerPoint file. To save
the file as an OpenOffice.org file, follow the previous instructions in Saving an Impress file
as a PowerPoint file, but in Step 3, choose OpenOffice.org 1.0 Presentation (.sxi) as the
Save as Type.
Note: Sometimes there are inconsistencies that occur when a Microsoft document is translated
into Impress. However, these are usually easy to fix. Most often, the document is blurred or
displays inconsistent fonts. To fix these problems, highlight the type that needs to be corrected
and reformat the text to the desired format. These steps also work for most of the other problems
that occur. Select the item that needs to be corrected and then implement the correct settings.
