Thanks! I'll check it out.

Oh well this is both bad and good. It's great for Linux users who often
alreadt have a full-tex environment. It bad for oeople without becaus
tetex is huge!

I will check it out however.

Well there is a little trick you can do with both OOo and AbiWord if you
don't mind living without fancy transitions or animations.

Set up a page in landscape mode with a custom page size to fit on a screen.
Set up your presentation as you like. AbiWord does positioned objects and
text wrapping, as well as image backgrounds so you can make your slides
quite fancy.

Then print to pdf and do your presentation in evince or Acroread.

BTW, if you have a passion for Tex you could write another plugin to use
it instead as well as itex2MML. We can reuse all the infrastructure we've
set up. I can show you how.

Cheers

Martin

Afterwards print it to pdf
