If you genuinely want to be able to "give to anyone" then you
shouldn't use a closed proprietary format such as PowerPoint!
Its been mentioned already, but you can use LaTeX to produce [PDF]
slides (using Beamer or Prosper packages) so all the talk of LaTeX
functions for formatting output is perfectly applicable, and the
results would be more transferable than PPT.
I suspect the crux is that your clients want PPT's that they can edit,
which is slightly tricky if you provide them with a compiled PDF.

Sorry never use PowerPoint (there is no Linux version from M$, nor do
I use OpenOffice).
