About PPT and ODS

PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation) is PowerPoint's legacy binary format, predating the XML-based PPTX.

ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet) is the open ISO-standard spreadsheet format used by LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice Calc.

What to expect: PPT and ODS support similar formatting, so most content and structure should carry over cleanly.
