Turns out there isn't. Or if there is, it's good at hiding. Maybe Firefox can fill in that gap after Abiword/Gnumeric for people that don't like Openoffice's size...

I even had one slide that embedded an MPEG screencast segment. Just before my presentation, I grabbed an Apple Remote and discovered it didn't work with NeoOffice. A quick google search later and I came up with this bit of software that got me up and running. http://www.jfedor.org/neoremote/ I did a presentation recently using NeoOffice and it came out alright.
