Make slide shows without PowerPoint
Microsoft Office component PowerPoint is dominant in slide show software but not everyone wants to have to fork out to buy Microsoft Office. A free alternative is Open Office (OO), which is now in version 3.0 and has received good reviews. OO contains slide show capability that is compatible with PowerPoint. For online presentations there are several alternatives and a new one is called 280 Slides. A CNET Webware review says:
280 Slides is a notable online replacement for desktop presentation apps. It’s fast, functional and very visual.
In it, you can create a presentation, theme it, add graphics and video, and then present it, share it via Slideshare, or download it as a PowerPoint or PDF file. It’s so smooth to use that it’s hard to tell the difference in the experience between working in a traditional presentation app like Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote. It doesn’t have a traditional app’s over-the-top feature set, but it’s so fast and easy to use you’ll probably not notice that.
