Has anybody tried "Charisma" from Micrographix.  It's supposed to do 
most of what PowerPoint does, plus a lot better drawing tools.  PC Mag
had a review that seemed pretty positive, but it's hard to tell from
that.

I've used PowerPoint a little bit.  It's been somewhat tricky getting
it to work the way we would like.  For example, in order to import an
outline from WinWord, you have to save the Word file in RTF format.  We
really like being able to include all the graphics for a presentation
into one file.  I'd just like to know more about Charisma before making
a final decision.
