What about OPML to PowerPoint?

Category: Tech

Posted by: jd

Dave Winer points us to RSS Labs' OPML Workstation, a "PowerPoint to OPML site". Very cool. But I want to go in the other direction. It is, I think, a matter of using the right tool for the job. The OPML editor lets you create and manipulate your information in an environment devoid of the constraints and influences necessarily imposed by presentation software like PowerPoint. But once your content has been created, PowerPoint is great for packaging it up for delivery. Any chance of OPML to PowerPoint coming along? And what about Office 12 support for OPML?

Do you mean that you'd like to create the outline of your talk in OPML, include the images and then convert it to PowerPoint?

I just tried the PP to OPML tool and looked at the OPML. I haven't tried Dave Winer's OPML editor yet, but I just downloaded it.

Wouldn't most non-programmer types find it easier to create an outline of a talk in Word or even in PowerPoint? The OPML editor seems to me to be useful for more complex structures than most talks. (Maybe I give really simple presentations.)
