preview next slide in openoffice presentation?

Question

is there away to show the next slide coming up and the current one on the laptop but only have the current one displaying on the projector?

Answer 1

Microsoft Office has a feature called "presenter mode" which allows the laptop to display the current slide, notes, a timer, and a preview of the next slide.

There is an extension that appears similar to this that is currently in development but has a beta available that you can see here. Note, you need at least OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta for this extension.
