Thanks... might pay to do this often, if anyone is wandering past a DSE :-)

The ppt was all that was there, as an illustration of MS office compatability.

They all got told the login/password & to start OO Impress & the presentation,
then press f9 to run it.

But I got the feeling that DSE staff could benefit from several training
courses, not least Linux. But I guess look at the pay, age & pressure to sell
they are under....

They are supposed to put out 10-12 at a time, each store got 60-100.

You must be an obvious Window shopper :-)
