It'll convert it, load it, and start it automatically. Windows is probably similar. There's a way to inform Windows that you want to open a file with a specific program. Just use that. Alternatively, fire up AOO, and use the File->Open dialog to select your .ppt file. There's no other action you have to take. Don't overcomplicate things. (You mean I could charge $50 for *that*???? :-) Jim Plante On Jun 5, 2012, at 1:24 PM, jebair@juno.com wrote: > I have tried every way I can think of to contact you about a question I have regarding Impress. I refuse to pay $58 to a tech person, only to find out that your program doesn't have the following function. How do I download an internet powerpoint to Open Office Impress for use in my teaching. I have searched everywhere, including your user manual, for the answer to this question and have have come up empty. Certainly, others have wanted to use powerpoints on various websites for their presentations. Many powerpoints come in Microsoft format and are downloaded to Microsoft Powerpoint, but Open Office is supposed to be compatible with Microsoft Office. If you can't give me an email reply, please direct me to someone for help, other than a paid techie. Thanks.
