This month in Linux Voice.
Presentations are one of the items most affected by the spell of past Microsoft dominance. Lots of people in the business world don't even use the word "presentation" and refer to their slide deck as a "PowerPoint" – as if that were a real word in the language. The open source world can rival Microsoft's clunky and exclusionary PowerPoint with Impress, a versatile tool that is part of both the OpenOffice and LibreOffice suites.
