------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Nov 30 13:41:50 +0000 2007 ------- Following does not happen in OOo 2.0 but happens with OOo 2.2 and OOo 2.3. Symptoms: If an impress presentation has lines ending with ) (ascii 0x29) and it is exported to ppt, some of those lines will appear as )? in powerpoint viewer 97. Details: When the file is viewed in a hex editor the corrupt versions (exported by OOo 2.3 and OOo 2.2) of the file will have hex strings that go 00 29 00 0F 20 e.g. 00 29 00 0F 20 0D 00 Files exported with ooo2.0 will have hex strings that go: 00 29 00 0D 00 These appear to be rendered fine by powerpoint viewer. There are other display problems with ooo2.0 but ? has a significant meaning in English when it terminates a line and thus the resulting corruption is not a mere cosmetic defect. How to reproduce: Install OOo 2.3 launch impress. use basic template (title and bullet points) create title that ends with ) create bullet points that end with ) and some that don't (for comparison). save as ppt file. open with powerpoint viewer 97. See that some lines ending with ) will be displayed with )? (probably not real question mark but a "unknown/missing symbol question mark") Current workaround: Downgraded to unaffected version of OOo (2.0) Comment: How could this happen? Why should 0x29 be treated differently? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
