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.

N.B. The Kensington Pocket Presenter Wireless Laser previously recommended on this page doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.5.1 Leopard (it causes a kernel panic). The problem was resolved starting with Mac OS X 10.5.2.
