openoffice_impress troubles konqueror??

[steef <debian.linux@home.nl>]

hi list,

please read this explanation with some patience.

for my wife i produce large files (slides) with openoffice_impress upto 
140 MB. for her presentations. before hearings of scientists i have to 
convert these files into  .ppt (windows) files.

when i do this with openoffice under lenny; openoffice happens to choke 
occasionally and no icon shows up at all. when i try to open my /home 
file with konqueror, konqueror seems to choke too and refuses to come up 
till i remove the .ppt file (without an icon) (sudo rm -r 
/home/steef/desktop/....ppt). when i have done that everything is normal 
again.

when i move the .odp file to a hd with a windows-XP os and both 
openoffice and MS word installed, i can easily convert with this 
openoffice_version on the windows_hd into a .ppt file and open thid 
converted without any problem.

so: i do not have really a problem: i can circumvent it. i am just 
curious: has somebody the same experience and is there maybe a (magical) 
solution i am not aware of? when i am busy this (small) problem becomes 
really a pain in the ass,

thank you all!

regards,

steef
