I've heard Impress is considered weaker than PowerPoint. I do a lot of presentations in my office, where we use Microsoft Word. However, I have OpenOffice at home because I don't want to have to pay for Microsoft Office. I haven't used Impress. Can you offer some advice for getting started?

Impress is in some ways weaker than PowerPoint. If you're currently using Word for presentations, though, Impress will of course provide you with a lot more features. Impress is fairly straightforward to get started with. I suggest reading the following:
- Using Impress, general:

- Where to find Impress templates
- How to point to Impress templates and make them available when you create a new presentation
- Creating a master page (controlling how the background and text formatting look)
- Printing handouts
