Presenters often desire to use some sort of remote-control device to advance slides or perform other functions while giving their talks. Unfortunately, the underlying OpenOffice.org code knows nothing about the Apple Remote that comes with newer Macs. However, a number of other remote-control solutions exist that do work with NeoOffice.

Compatible Devices

  • Bluetooth phone when using Salling Clicker (see below)
  • Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro ($79)
  • Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer ($55.99)
    although the link doesn't mention it, according to what Kensington says, this presenter is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and above
  • Apple Remote when using iRed Lite, Remote Buddy, or NeoRemote (see below)

N.B. The Kensington Pocket Presenter Wireless Laser previously recommended on this page doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (it causes a kernel panic).
