Is there a tool that work on the MAC for that? Authorstream is an MS DOS executable so I can’t run it. Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no such tool for Mac. However, I will inquire into it and tell you if I find anything that could be of help. Thanks for taking time and having a look.

Will this or any similar app work with OpenOffice.org’s Impress?

Aditya @ TechRavings October 2, 2009 at 4:04 pm

It is compatible only with Microsoft Office. Thanks for the comment Dave -:)

I will be looking for some utility or add-on that can do this in Open Office Impress and if I find any, I will surely be informing you about it.
