One of the problems is that the odp files seem to consist of basically h1 for the slide titles and h2 for the slide bullet point text.

After trying a lot of combinations I eventually found that these manual steps resulted in a pretty good conversion of an OO Impress file to MediaWiki syntax:

* Using OO Impress, save odp as ppt * Using MS PPT, ppt save as rtf * Using OO Writer, open rtf and save as html * Using OO Writer, open html and export as mediawiki syntax * Using a text editor, open txt and search and replace: o replace <center> with == and </center> with == o replace # with * (if you want bullets rather than numbers) o âEUR^(TM) with ' o âEUR~ with ' o âEUR? with o âEUR" with -

alright, i'm having fun getting not very far with converting stuff to mediawiki syntax

my latest mystery i thought would be easy... but alas...

I am trying to convert odp files to mediawiki text. I just want to get the outline bullet-pointed text and headings into mediawiki markup. I have tried pasting into OO writer and using the MW export, but it doesn't come out as hoped. MSO PPT has a save to .rtf feature - I also tried this and pasting the rft into OO, but didn't get anything usable.
