Not really the answer, of course, but Softmaker Office for Linux, which
includes a decent presentation component, installs easily and runs well
under Lubuntu, puts less demand on computing resources than OO, and is
highly compatible with MS Office. Discounts are often available from
Softmaker themselves or from Ashampoo.

Otherwise, the best immediate answer might be to install only the basic
word-processor, spreadsheet and presentation components from OpenOffice,
omitting, in particular, the database component and Java - that was the
approach taken in compiling the CD version of Mint.
