Greetings,
In PowerPoint one can save a presentation as slideshow (.pps instead of .ppt). Can I do something similar with Impress?
I also need some protection, so that a user can run the slideshow but not modify its content. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance for your help. |

Are you talking about these features for PPT/PPS or for ODP format ?

Save as PPT and change the extension manually to PPS in your file browser. No such feature with ODP.

Not supported for MS format IIRC.

I'm talking for ODP. I was asking whether the PPT/PPS features exist also for ODP.

This I know

Really a pity!

I have MSO2K and it was not supported, but AFAIK it is in the newer versions. But anyway, OO is not a copy of MSO, is it? It may have features that MSO does not have.

I did, but nothing showed up (in the Impress forum). It is true, however, that the site was terribly slow when I posted my question. |
