SPUG: From non-PowerPoint to PowerPoint

[Ron Pero]

Hi

Do you know of an easy way to prepare PowerPoint slides from plain text?

It can be done if we stick to simple headings and bullet points:

How about something more full featured, that lets me import graphics from files, and insert tables?

I've seen Perl things here and there, but these presentations have to end up as actual PowerPoint 
files. So if I can create it in something non-PPt, but then export it to PPt, that would work.

Thank you,

Ron
