I would talk to the school system now as they will probably be rebuilding systems in the summer. It is a great time to install any new or updates software. -- Robin Laing
Good point. I'd pursue that if it wasn't that I was moving this summer. I wouldn't have time to mount a reasonable battle plan before moving. I'll have to face an uphill battle in September. The other option I'm looking at is OpenOffice Portable that a teacher could run off a thumbdrive. That way no software is installed on the school computer, but it allows parents/students to use an open source format for their presentations. If PPT could read open source (and accurately) it would be a non-issue in that sense. At least parents would still have that choice despite the school using proprietary software. Jacques B.
