Openoffice has a presentation manager and a boatload of stuff I never use... V2 is still in beta. Wouldn't recommend for anything critical, it is a bit buggy. but the last v1 worked well. It does import exel spreadsheets and word .doc s
When they finally get v2 right, the user interface will be a little smoother and alot prettier.
