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
