This is a post related to usability of Open Office Suite.
Open office has emerged has one of the best alternatives to MS Office (while Google Docs is still maturing)
There are few elemental things not available in Open Office which makes its use little more rough
Most important being, Inability to change slides with arrow keys . I don't understand why OO people are not implementing this simple feature. Is there a copyright issue or programming difficulty (?)
Second being, compatibility with MS Office 2007 files (esp. .pptx). With these formats being more than 3 yrs old, it should start supporting it fully.
Open Office 's saved ppt files change in orientation and design when opened in MS Office, not talking about templates (can be really troublesome).
Few more smaller issues.
Note: this post is not made for criticizing OO , rather it points out woes of users who want to shift their workspace in open source but are still facing difficulties.
