It is only a very simple problem of proprietary font. Get a look at the font 
you are using in MS Powerpoint (which is in my opinion inferior to Impress). 
Then install the font you have been using under OpenOffice.org. If you are 
using version 1.1.3 is very easy, select

File>Autopilot>Install fonts from the web

And you select the fonts you want to install from a list, download and 
install. Eventually, you can download the font from MS and install them on 
your system in order to enable all the application and not only 
Openoffice.org to use them.

Concerning drawing diagrams, I do not understand your problem Could you be 
more specific? I have been drawing diagrams and not had any problem. Be more 
specific and we will probably be able to help you.

If you need specific Openoffice.org help, subscribe with the Openoffice.org 
user mailing list at http://www.openoffice.org.

For everybody's information, Openoffice.org 1.1.3 came out top in a round test 
among all office suite available on the market conducted by Computer Shopper 
UK ( 5 star). It is on December 2004 issue.
