|
|
I was hoping to find a simple way to convert writer documents to impress presentations. Does anyone have this solved already, or have a suggestion for how to go about it? Just another filter right?
If I can get this done I can trigger a switch from M$ Office to Open Office at my company so I'm eager. |

It definitely cannot be done by a simple filter export or by a simple user interface command. With the UI, you can take single pages of a writer document and paste them into empty impress slides. Of course you can do that manually for a full writer doc.
It is possible to automate this - see ( http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=21131 ) for a macro converting a single writer page. This could be extended to a full writer document. If you want a real stable solution requiring absolutely no post editing you will still have to invest a certain amount of work, though.
M$ never offered this, or ?
