I use OpenOffice Impress for my powerpoint slides and I'm finding the program to be pretty buggy in a lot of ways. While it's a great problem, I always seem to lose background changes I make when I close it / reload it again, regardless of how many times I've saved it.

I could put whatever background on it and it reverts to plain white upon restart.

Does anyone else have this problem? Know a way around it?

I was also wondering if anyone knew how to itemize slides? For example, I want to have all my text on one slide but still be able to press the space bar to have more text appear instead of making a whole ton of slides with each one being part of the whole.

Thanks.

OpenOffice is great for basic stuff like word processing and simple spreadsheeting, but try to do anything complicated and you're sunk.

I had to go back to an old copy of MS Office97 to get some VBA code to work properly on a spreadsheet then link to a mail merge (report card processor - saves a lot of work).

I really like the idea of an open-source package, but you have to allow for the fact that people are working on this for free in their own time, and that there are limits to what can be achieved. OpenOffice will be great one day, but in the meantime I've got work that needs to get done.
