I can't recommend that link!
I can just see a single sentence about CAS's in Open Office.
If there should be more I don't see it!

Do I have to buy into Microsoft Office?

Ooops. I forgot that my employer has installed MS Office for me.
But it's obvious that other people don't always have that "luxury".
Sorry.

Perhaps you can convert it to pdf? (I had some pretty good experiences
with the free version of pdf995.)

I'm not sure who the pdf995 suggestion is aimed at.

I used to have Windows, but it fell over once to often with "screen
freeze" - so I deleted all aplications but left the data files.

I've been using Linux for some time and I can cope with Word and Excel
formats quite happily. Powerpoint appears to be problematical but pdf995
is a non-starter - since it appears to be Microsoft based.

If that slide show had been created with Latex or any Unix office suite,
conversion to pdf format would be trivial.

BTW Suggestions about using MathML for equations would work, to some
extent, in Firefox - it's just that the layout, though readable is not
very good, due to poor fonts.
