create Powerpoint presentations with perl?&nbsp; It&#8217;s true, but there are
a couple intermediate steps and I am experiencing issues navigating the
process. &nbsp;I sent the following query off to the folks who wrote the OpenOffice::OODoc

blank slide.&nbsp; I unzipped the resulting .sxi file and found that the content.xml
file places the &lt;/office:presentation&gt; tag before the slides.&nbsp; As a
result, you never get to see the slides.&nbsp; SOFFICE apparently ignores the
tag and the presentation can be viewed in its entirety.&nbsp; My question to
you is: how can I correct the content.xml file as produced by the module?&nbsp;

changed the tag in question&#8217;s font color to red.&nbsp; I moved the tag
manually, resaved the file using WinZIP, and poof! the presentation becomes
visible and I can convert it to .ppt and make the world happy. &nbsp;Otherwise,
they just get one blank slide.</span></font></p>
