open office

[here_is_gone]

is open office compatible with microsoft powerpoint? i dont have $100+ to buy powerpoint, and I need it for school, so if I made a presentation with open office, would i be able to view it in powerpoint on another computer?

 

[mr.monger]

tell the school you dont have pp and they cant force you to buy it or get a zero. but i dont know what kinds of files open office saves to.

 

[un4given1]

Yes open office is compatible with it.

Yeah, OpenOffice.org allows you to open files made in Microsoft Office such as word documents, excel spreadsheets, and powerpoint presentations. I also made a thread about OpenOffice.org. Check it out, it might help you out.
