Power Point 2007

2013-12-09 Thread Mike Tong
Please can you confirm if Open Office version is compatible with Power
Point 2007.
I tried using it in July and found that it wasn't.
Can you confirm whether the latest version is fully compatible with it now?
Thanks
Mike

It would be foolish of anyone to say it was _fully_ compatible with PowerPoint 
2007. In fact even Microsodft has had glitches between differing versions of 
their software. If you must maintain 100% compatibility, use Powerpoint 2007 on 
identical machines with identical font packs.

As you can install OpenOffice for free (only download from 
www.openoffice.org/download, which will redirect you to SourceForge) you can 
try it alongside your PowerPoint installation.

I've had no problems opening OO presentation files [saved in Win ppt format] 
with either ppt 2007 or ppt 2010.

No problems either going the other way from ppt or pptx files into OO.

There are some gotchas here.  Embedded audio files or video files need to be in 
a format that works on both the originating machine and the target machine; 
this is a more significant problem when going between Win and Mac; but not an 
issue that can be ignored otherwise.
