That is the most annoying download site I have ever seen. I'm not touching it!

Be very careful about that website.
When I went to it it opened a new window on my browser which told me Flash was out of date and needed a new security update. The site telling me this was not a Flash update site. When I closed that window and checked Flash, it was fully up to date. I suspect that window was attempting to install malware on my PC.
Also, the site requires me to login to it, using Facebook or similar; or create an account and login. Why do I need to login to download a file.
Treat is as extremely suspicious!

That "desperate" user has not logged in again for 10 hours after he posted. He could of course have checked this thread without being logged in, but with his claimed situation he should then have responded.
This suggests to me that the "cry for help" was just a vehicle for a phishing attempt.
The request could of course be what it purports to be, but I still choose to post this reservation in the open, since other strong reservations have already been stated. This way, EleJota can address all our concerns with a single response if this is indeed a legitimate request.

The document is also a .docx, which is not obviously a presentation.
| Edit: The other disconcerting matter is the Forum.sig - OO 2.4 on Ubuntu 9.04; if these are in use how was the .docx written? |

The cynic in me wonders if some of these requests are for MS Office produced documents gone wrong rather than AOO produced docs saved in .docx format.

Anyway, AOO cannot save in .docx.
LibreOffice can to some extent. But I doubt it will achieve a perfect compatibility.
