open office
and I'm also worried that open office won't be transmitted to the beamer in the correct dimensions. As you see I've got a widescreen laptop, with 1440x960 I get the black vertical bars and beamer will resize so that the bars disappear, leaving the top and the bottom of the slide cropped (at least, that's what I notice with other people's presentations), when they resize their display the beamer will project correctly. The problem is when I resize my display to 1280x800 the way the presentation is displayed is weird (not sure how the beamer would deal with that).

Ah well, I found the culprit. It's X11, when I change the preferences to 'enable full screen mode' the taskbar disappears.. working with the mode is weird since I need to press alt-apple-a to make the application appear, which is otherwise hidden in that mode (it took me a while to find out which keys stand for command-option-a 
)
)
