If you include a png in your Impress presentation and resize it
(which is often the case, that's why you use a program for 
presentations) , you
get very bad quality. I think this is because png is not vector format.
This problem does not occur with emf files in ppt or with svg files
in Impress (as far as I've been able to see).

Yes, thanks for the workaround that I personally will try. But I'm not 
trying to solve my problem only, I really want to know if I can tell my 
colleagues that
they can use OO in the same way as they do with MSOffice. Thus,
I'm looking for something as simple and equivalent to the way
you work with emf and ppt as possible: you just
copy an emf file and paste it on a ppt slide, where you
resize it, annotate it, animate it etc.
Discarded the emf file, I've seen that opening an svg file with OO
works and it's close to the ideal solution (copying and pasting the
svg file on Impress does not work well).
