Is there any reason you can't install OpenOffice.org on the laptop to
run the presentation?
Best idea.
The SWF export option is under File > Export... and select "Macromedia
Flash (SWF)" for "Save as type". I've never done this myself, so no idea
how well it actually works.
Having tried it, I'd say not to bother.
I've just rechecked what happened last time I tried - a simple
presentation with a background image, a couple of text blocks fading in
and out on each slide, and a timed advance to the next slide. swf export
is just plain *rubbish* - the text renders wrongly, the within-slide
dissolves don't work (all the text appears all the time), my
between-slide fades are replaced with a fast change, and timed advances
don't work (have to keep clicking away....).
Quite the worst part of OOo, IMO. But I've had a *lot* of hassle in
Impress one way or another: both fades and text rendering just seem
problematic.
I wonder if LO is any better.
FWIW BTW you can just drop a swf onto firefox, at least under ubuntu, to
play it.
