Praedor, I have had the same problem with OO.o. I have started using the Prosper package with LaTeX to create presentations (that run using Acrobat, not powerpoint of course). It is very nice and of course has no problem with eps files.
See, for example: http://www.ma.man.ac.uk/~mheil/Prosper/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/prosper/ In fact what I am doing is using R (open source implemenation of the S statistical programming language) with Sweave (integrates R/S and LaTeX) and Prosper to create single self-documented analysis files that run an analysis, create a paper and produce the presentation. Last week while I was sleeping my mind was reviewing the code of a presentation I was due to give and found a mistake. My mind alerted me immediately (at 4am) and I got up, fixed the bugs, ran the program. This regenerated the paper and presentation with the updated charts. If I had had to cut and paste everything and update the numbers in the text manually it would have been a nightmare (Sweave allows you to reference the results of statistical calculations in the body of LaTeX text so you can make the whole thing dynamic). Sorry, a bit of a digression from the topic but I LOVE working this way and want to shout about it!
