The only reason we want a clone of ma office is because it's the standard, not because it's good...

    Sadly if you need to make ppts regularly, OpenOffice and Libra Office don't come close to Powerpoint in terms of features...

    And sadly I'm far too incompetent a coder (and already torn 4 ways between family, job, MtG:judging, and rest and hobbies as I'm hugely introverted) to be able to help change that.

    Feature Wish List

    • copying objects copies their animations and interactions, including "on click" or links if copying multiple at once.
    • replacing an object doesn't destroy it's animations, links, etc.
    • ability to replace multimedia objects (images, sounds, etc.) from clipboard, not only storage.
    • ability to edit animations in bulk in more than just activation, type, and order. i.e. timing, sound effects
    • animation rules such as reset on completion or not to actually do what they say.
    • transparency to not block interaction with objects.

    And this one is probably a faulty user error:

    • change the default colours from that blue to something I'd occasionally use.

    • That said, the word processor, spreadsheet, and graphic design application are all a head better than the proprietary versions I've tried.

    Calc is also not an Excel replacement for a lot of use cases. It's good for basic number crunching but it lacks a lot of functions, conditional formatting, and if you set up data validation on any cells....good luck finding them again. There is no menu for it. You need a PLUGIN to scan the sheets for cells with data validation and manually remove them
