This may be slightly OT, but let me second the Open Office recommendation and mention another thing it does -- specifically powerpoint -> swf conversion. My classes often ask me to publish some sort of study guide. In the past, I would save my PowerPoints as html and publish them to the web. This was an awful process. The resulting data was huge, unruly, and often unusable over dialup (which many of our commuters still have at home). Enter Open Office. Open your ppt file in OO, then select export and choose swf as the file type. Poof! One nice swf file (that is often smaller than the original ppt) -- ready for dropping onto a web site or into an email.
