    Preezentation or prezzentation? Believe it or not, I've heard the former from a colleague. And he's not American.

      What would it then be called if it was made with Libreoffice or Openoffice Impress?
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Any users on here? In all my years in many companies I've never heard of them, so I can't help unfortunately.

          Me, we don't have Windows as a desktop here (over 10,000 users), its all Ubuntu. We did have Openoffice but have switched to Libreoffice

            I've never used Impress except to view PowerPoint stuff.

            Apple's Keynote is better but of course you need an Apple system for that.

            All three flavours suffer from Microsoft using private fonts for PowerPoint bullets, but that's easy enough to fix.

                  Back in the good old days, a pack was a multi-platter removable disk.

                  I'm sure we called something a deck as well but I can't remember what. Cards were before my time so I don't think it was that.
                  Whs. presentation.

                  Though to be fair I use acetate and an OHP. Old skool.

                      The correct answer is whatever your client calls it when they ask for one.
