Reading powerpoint presentations in Linux

[Michael Whapples]

Hello,
I know this may be a bit much to hope for, but is there anyway to read powerpoint presentations in Linux? I of course am using speakup, but I also have got gnome and orca installed should it require using something like openoffice (should orca work with that part). I have asked the person who has said that they can give me this information in powerpoint format, whether they could convert it to another format, but I said I would make enquiries whether it would be possible for me to read powerpoint format.
