Any advice for any free online equivalents of powerpoint online. Looking to put a presentation together and trying to avoid buying a full microsoft package. Any recomendations appreciated. cheers Ed

I use OpenOffice on PC, think there's also a mac version?

In reply to Ed Booth:

Keynote is £14 from the App Store, and I think it's worth it.

or a free alternative is LibreOffice

For free online stuff, how about Google Docs
https://docs.google.com

or maybe something like Prezi

In reply to Ed Booth: Another for open office. Downloaded it for free and you can save files in several different file types including power point

In reply to Ed Booth:

Not free but i'm a big fan of Prezi

In reply to Ed Booth: Keynote for me. I use it on ipad and find it easier than PowerPoint. Great value for £14.

Yes, Keynote wins hands down.

Keynote is a PITA if you ever want to use something else. You'll basically be lumbered with it and its bullet madness forever.

Try libreoffice - free and open and a complete office replacement. The presentation packge for libreoffice used to be the weak link but is now mature and equal to ppt or keynote.

It runs on anything and imports / exports to anything (except keynote).

Since it is free you can try it, if you don't get on with it what have you lost?

In reply to Father Noel Furlong:
Prezi is my presentation package of choice, at present. Very easy to use, and a nice alternative to PP. I use the free version, though presentations are public. No major problem unless you a using sensitive content, I guess.

LibreOffice is a fork or the OpenOffice source code, so they're very close in terms of functionality. Try both and see which one you prefer.
