Not natively yet. But there is a plugin from IBM which you can use : You can play MPEG-4 movies in OpenOffice.org by inserting a Java applet ( “Insert” => “Object” => “Applet” and for the class name fill in “M4Applet.class”, in the “Class Location” fill in the directory where you expanded the download file, and in the “Options” panel add 'url=<path to the mpeg to play> panel=”basic” scaling=”true”'). You can download a Java applet for MPEG-4 from http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/tk4mpeg4. No, that format is very old and quite different from Powerpoint 97. Yes, you can do this with Impress. You have to do two things to set it up. First, the slides themselves need automatic transitions defined. To set that up, switch to to “Slide View”, and select all the slides. Then, choose “Slide Show” => “Slide Transition” from the menu. In the Slide Transition window, click the Extras button. On the Extras page that appears, click Automatic Transition and then use the spinner to set the length of time each slide should appear. Then, click the green checkmark to apply the setting. Close the Slide Transition window. Next, from the menu, choose “Slide Show” => “Slide Show Settings”. In the dialog, choose Auto and set the spinner for the period of time to elapse between the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. If you want continuous viewing, set it to 0. Go to the 'Background view' of the presentation [There are three small icons under the left side ruler - the middle icon is the 'Background view' - it looks like a box with a dark bottom edge] ; To enter text, for example, click on the big 'T' icon on the left edge ; Create a text input area on your presentation by dragging your mouse in the desired location ; If you want to insert a page/slide number: while still in Background view ; select: Insert-Fields-Page Numbers. When you are finished adding text/logos/etc. Click on the left-most icon under the left side ruler. This icon is called 'Slide view' and will return you to slide editing mode. Any slide in your presentation will have the data entered in 'Background view'. You need to set the printing options for presentations. From the “Tools” menu select “Options” and then in dialog that appears, go to “Presentations” => “Print“. In the 'Contents' box, click on the check box next to 'Notes' to turn on note printing; de-select the check box next to 'Drawing' to avoid printing both the slide and the notes on separate pages. This dialog also has choices for printing 'Outline' and 'Handout'. A FAQ can be found here . An excerpt from Solveig Hauglands excellent book is available on an introduction to Impress usage .
