I could change my browser settings, but that would only help me. Others may be put off visiting the BlogoScoped pages.<BR/>Please consider embedding a more lightweight presentation than the current one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-65443617134562077672008-01-06T09:40:00.000-08:002008-01-06T09:40:00.000-08:00XD lol ok, I'll read more :D:DXD lol ok, I'll read more :D:DJames Xuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872229055185158866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-20775030154383024162008-01-06T02:44:00.000-08:002008-01-06T02:44:00.000-08:00I think OpenOffice Impress is the weakest applicat...I think OpenOffice Impress is the weakest application from the suite, the same way Presently is the worst app from Google Docs. It's difficult to manage presentations because they usually have a bigger size than other documents, require some good image manipulation tools, visual effects and a lot of customizations.Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-73803421796302640422008-01-06T02:33:00.000-08:002008-01-06T02:33:00.000-08:00Actually Powerpoint is the only application of mic...Actually Powerpoint is the only application of microsoft I could call a decent application (and the only application I prefer over its open source alternatitives...) Strange enough this is mainly because only powerpoint seems to work everywhere fast in contradiction of what I read here.<BR/><BR/> PS. I normally still use OO.o as I work on linux... yet sometimes I miss powerpoints functions(especially the 2007 wordart, which was the first proffesional wordart I ever saw and which was not a piece of child play)David Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329089489844472485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-53081305556072593962008-01-05T21:35:00.000-08:002008-01-05T21:35:00.000-08:00Anyone else having a problem with the graphics and...Anyone else having a problem with the graphics and text on the slides? For example, on slide 6, where it says 'Develop vertical solutions' and Create content' - the word 'solutions' is overlayed on the words 'Create content'. And at the bottom of that slide, the Google logo is covering (in front of) the text. All I can read on the last bullet is 'Hold Hosta'.<BR/>I noticed that in almost every slide where there should be text in front of a Google logo, it is behind it instead. And on slide 18, for item #7, I can't read any words after the word 'abused,'. I am using FF2 and also tried viewing it in IE7, but got the exact same results. I wouldn't think any browser setting would cause these type of display issues, would they? I also viewed the full size slideshow, and got the same results again. When viewing the other two presentations from Scribd and Slideshare, I had no problems with any text or graphics on them.quehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00931923121001097448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-59480862879526457392008-01-05T11:26:00.000-08:002008-01-05T11:26:00.000-08:00@James:Check the title of that slide: "We do not.....@James:<BR/>Check the title of that slide: "We do not...".Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-83034444467172154352008-01-05T11:24:00.000-08:002008-01-05T11:24:00.000-08:00Wait, look at slide.. 5 or 6, it says, "Hold User ...Wait, look at slide.. 5 or 6, it says, "Hold User Data Hostage" at the bottom...weird...James Xuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872229055185158866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-25644575937181552192008-01-05T08:04:00.000-08:002008-01-05T08:04:00.000-08:00Also Zoho offers embed options for a long time.

Powerpoint, in my estimation is a prime example of bloatware. The application itself is too big (didn't the original viewer fit on a floppy?) and the slide shows can get enormous, and slow, unless you have the latest hardware.<BR/><BR/>I don't do a lot of this type of thing, but the last time I did I finally converted the presentation to PDF format using Open Office and not only was did the show present faster on my older laptop, but the file was half the size. I could tell no different in the quality of what was shown either.<BR/><BR/>Considering I did this with open source software, at minimum I'd like the Google version to be able to do the same PDF export. Of course it wouldn't be that hard to do the whole thing as a local html file either, but that would include creating a local sub directory with png files or something and I know from experience that multiple files can get separated from one another such that you either lose the graphics or the text and end up with something fairly useless.macbeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570427618324025947noreply@blogger.com
