Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be.

I think you can save presentations as pptx. If you mean Draw to pptx then I can't help you, I do not use it.

^ in 2.4.2 it would save the files in the pptx but all the formatting would be gone. I wanted to know if the problem still persists.

You mean formatting would be ruined when opened in Microsoft Powerpoint? I do not own a copy of Powerpoint so I cannot help you there as well. But why bother using LibreOffice if you own MS Office anyway? Use it if you are going to be opening it in LibreOffice, no point using it in MS Office.

I know what you mean. Well, I have not even installed anything apart from Writer. No idea about compatibility. Luckily, my company uses OpenOffice.org. So, I use ODF all the time.

Does anyone know if MS Office supports ODF yet? Version 2007 could not open it. Not sure about 2010.

BTW the formatting would be gone even if you open it in LibreOffice again(in ppt format)

2010 could not open it but i found a plugin on sourceforge to make it support ODF.
Found the link : OpenXML/ODF Translator Add-in for Office

2010 Starter version supports odt and ods files. I guess Powerpoint probably supports odp files too.

I have preffered this tooo but the Libre office documents are not compatible with windows. When i painfull typed 27 pages for my project then tried it on a PC i got irritated and frustrated because of this!! I hope this thing is fixed/or will be fixed because this is the main challenge according to me on changing to Linux (other than gaming which i dont care :) )!!! This is the main thing!! Because even if this is fixed or not, am not going to leave the Linux, but it will stop me from recruiting many....

Friend, i meant that the documents created by libre office from a linux machine is shown real messy when we open it from a PC which uses MS OFFICE!! I know that the installation is available in windows :) I used libre office first on a PC :)

UPDATE : I have specifically told that libre office documents on windows even though didn't refer the MS OFFICE :)

Didn‘t understand what mess up you are talking off. LibreOffice ia working flawlessly. It opens MS office formats too.
Post a screenshot of what you call “messed up“
