Apache OpenOffice has a module Presentation (similar to Microsoft’s PowerPoint). I won’t say much about it except that you should keep presentations simple e.g. only using black print on white background (which also makes printing cheaper) and avoid frames and any other basically unnecessary elements. On the whole there is a danger that the audience concentrates too much on the projection and not on what you are actually saying, so it’s a technique I would be pretty wary of.
