| time by [downloading templates][1] from our Templates repository. |
| |
| *Complete range of Views* are supported: Slides / Outline / Notes / Handouts |
| to meet all the needs of presenters and audiences, plus an optional |
| multi-pane view to put all the tools at your fingertips. |
| |
| *Multiple monitors support* so that presenters can have additional materials or notes while presenting their slides on a projector. |
| Make the most of this with the integrated [Presenter Screen][2], which lets you see your next slides |
| as well as the time and the speaker notes. |

| Impress. You can access your presentations from any OpenDocument compliant |
| software. |
| |
| *.ppt & .pptx support* - Of course, you are free to import your old Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, or |
| save your work in PowerPoint format for sending to people who are still using Microsoft products. |
