OpenOffice ? That can read/write powerpoint files

Powerpoint is pretty much the *only* MS product I use, and, believe
me, I wish I could shake myself free of it.

But there's a problem. I generate many plots, and I convert them to
eps to put them in ppt. OO won't display eps figures, so I'm hosed.

I've tried alternative graphics formats, and they are all deficient
for one reason or another. So until OO decides to support eps, I'm
stuck with ppt.
