This is realy impressive...

I will take a closer look in the next days. The advantage of 
an impress/openoffice converter would be, as I see it right 
now, that you are able to adjust your drawings, tables an 
pictures like before in impress. If every slides looks the 
same, then you won't need impress anymore, but you might 
want to add on one slide some kind of symbol, enlarge the 
picture for better fitting and stuff like this. If you don't 
need to adjust anything anymore by an visual interface, than 
you could use the latex-beamer package as well (or prosper). 
And sometimes you just want to put several different sized 
images onto one slide, which are set on the final position 
much faster using an visual interface, than some kind of 
size-variable!?
