[Sheflug] Open office as an interactive whiteboard presentation tool.

["Chris Johnson" <chris [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've started looking at open office as an application to use with
interactive whiteboards.

The presentation software looks great and existing PowerPoint presentations
can be used but its annoying me a the moment.  I want to use the freeform
line tool to annotate over the top of my presentation.  However in
Presentation the tool is deselected each time the mouse button is released
putting me back in "select" mode meaning I can't write multiple characters
without reselecting the tool each time.  This is not the case with the
drawing application where the freeform line remains selected.  However the
drawing application doesn't have the option of using animations!

Also the freeform line tool is smoothing out my writing too much.  Can the
amount of smoothing be adjusted?

Anybody know if there is a workarounds?
