[Year 12 IPM] Gathering data slideshow resource

[Roland Gesthuizen]

G'day Keith, glad you asked.

Its an OpenDocument format file (in this case odp is a SlideShow) a new 
standards based XML system for sharing files, long term stable archives 
etc. We will start to see a lot of this stuff about and there are some 
really good issues for students to sink their brains into.

I know you like to get your head under the bonnet .. download the odp 
file, rename the file extension to zip then have a fascinating peek 
inside. Grab a free copy of http://OpenOffice.org or another package 
above then open it to see it from the editor and a PDF viewer to see it 
from the outside. More in the next VITTA newsletter. :-)

Regards Roland
