  You could install Chrome and try the Docs PDF/PowerPoint viewer.
  
 
 That did the trick, though Chromium barely qualifies as less bloated than 
 Libreoffice! It will only open files from the net, Chromium addons are not 
 allowed to open local files (in the cloud, only remote files are trustworthy).
 
 Kpresenter in kde/office3 does not open the ppt files I tried, just says 
 could not export file and freezes. I'll give Calligra-wip a go next time.

I use often Google Docs Viewer, but this also only works with documents
available online:

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://example...

I don't think you need to have Google account to use the service.

Hi ports, 

Just wondering if there is any port that can display ppt with the proper page 
formatting, apart from the bloated LibreOffice. 

If I make search the ports tree for powerpoint or ppt only catdoc and xlhtml 
come up, and these both lose the formatting.

LibreOffice does not come up in the search, so I'm just wondering if are other 
viewers hidden away? Or does anyone know of something not in the ports tree 
that can be built to display powerpoint slides?

Thanks,
Brett.
