I don't know if it's an installable option, but this sounds likely. The
big(ger) question might be: is *default* installation incorporating those?
In OO.o 1 and 1.1, I have this brought up as a pane by default. I suspect
this is the default behaviour in Presenter only. I only ever use Presented
to open other people's PPT files. I use the Web-based S5 to prepare weekly
slides. It's not truly Ajax, but it's kind of Web 2.0-ish, funky, crazy,
overhyped thingie (at least as perceived by the eye of its beholder/user).
Here's an example:

Chirag begs to differ, sadly. When I first looked at the article, I glanced
over at the Alexa traffic rank of the site, which provides rough insight
into readership. The site is among the top hundreds of sites, so expect a
million visitors per day. Good publicity for OO.o. I wonder if the Economic
Times has a paper-based equivalent, whose content overlap with Web
publications.
Best wishes,
Roy
