NYCorBUST -> Presentation Software (7/21/2008 10:08:05 AM)

Does anyone have any good ideas for presentation software that is NOT
1 - Macintosh
2 - Power Point

I am looking for presentation software that is not limited like Power Point and is made for a PC.

Any suggestions?

I don't know what you mean by "limited like Powerpoint." What functionality does it lack that you need?

The zero-cost rough analog to Powerpoint is Openoffice Impress, for what that's worth. http://openoffice.org

If you have to have Windows but not Powerpoint, yes OpenOffice's Impress would most likely be the thing. If by not limited, you mean you can install it for free on as many computers as you like, then yes Impress is definitely not limited--it is free through and through. However, every time I have tried Open Office extensively, I have always regretted all my time put into it, and have inevitably returned to the world of Microsoft.

There is one other solution--COrel makes an office suite that is supposedly a competitor to MS Office. It has a presentation program:

HOwever, its not much cheaper than MS Office, and under certain circumstances (particularly if you are a student) can cost much more than MS Office 2007. If you want freeware, then Open Office is the way to go.

EDIT: "cost" much more....edited for clarification

I have never had any kind of luck with Corel's program. It cannot read or write ppt files without messing up the formating big time.
