Does an openoffice presentation file open with windows powerpoint?

[arroy_0209]

In ubuntu 10.04 it is possible to save an openoffice.org presentation file in MS windowsXP powerpoint file format. If anybody has done this, can he/she please tell me if it works correctly in an windowsXP machine? Does animation work?

Also there are several formats related to windows XP in which a presentation file in openoffice.org can be saved. Thse are: .ppt, .pps, .pot, .pptx, .ppsx, .potm. Can anybody please tell me which format will be the best?

Animation almost never works correctly when using OpenOffice and saving as .ppt (or any of the alternatives).

I have never tried saving as .odp - but I believe Office 2010 (and 2007 with SP2) can open these. Might be worth a try?

Unfortunately, there is no better solution, apart from running MS Powerpoint with Wine/PlayOnLinux/Bordeaux etc on Ubuntu.
