Thanks I will try as yesterday my son try a Ubuntu presentation saved in ppt
and when watched on Windows the pictures had disappeared and only the text
remained, I'll try it your way and see how that works. I am sure that what
is happening is due more to not knowing how to than to open office and any
advices are welcome as I'd like to have my sons use Ubuntu more often but
don't want them to have trouble at school for it neither.

Thanks

Meg
