Please do excuse my limited possibilites in the english language:
But the question of design and medium is quite deeply connected with the
kind of content you wish to communicate.
For example:
A slideshow format needs sort of a linear argumentation like this:
(1)-->(2)-->(3)-->(4)--> ...
HTML permits multiple lines of argumentation and crossreferences like
this
_->(2a)-->(3a)-->(4a)--> ...
/
(1)--->(2b)-->(3b)-->(4b)--> ...
\ /
--->(3c)--
A slideshow is a one-way communication from you to your readers, HTML as
for example used in a wiki allows interaction with your readers
(comments, own contributions,...)
Thus it might not at all be possible to convert HTML to a slide show.
You will have to decide which kind of medium fits your content best.

When you have decided to use openoffice-impress you can find a first
manual on http://documentation.openoffice.org/
