------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 11 11:13:42 +0000 2008 ------- So, it seems there is some promissing new activity on this very annoying issue. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Along this line and just for the record and maybe also to put some additional motivation into this effort: in my part of the world issue #48179 has recently had its rather embarrassing 'comming out' into public. Here we have a *very* widely distributed computer magazine, the "ct'" (computer technique). A recent issue of it (22/2008) was devoted in part to what they called the 'office show-down' comparing M$ and OpenOffice. Therein, amongst others, they concluded that both presentation modules, i.e. M$-PPT and Impress would do their jobs equally well ... sounded good for Impress ... but not for long. Immediately following that article a rather sarcastic letter to the editor (not from me :-) ) was published (vol. 23/2008) headed 'No way back with Impress'. I'll create a corresponding attachment to this issue. For those unable to read German, let me just summarize, that this letter, in detail, describes exactly issue #48179, stating, eg., that '... with Open-Office-Impress you cannot perform one of the *most* *elementary* *operations* of a presentation, i.e. stepping back in animations ...' Finally it concludes with '... starting at 5 to 10 animation steps and an audience of 100 you will at least have the laughs on your side ...'. Sounded very bad for Impress. Interestingly there was no reaction from the OpenOffice-community on that letter. Even though the "ct'" is really *the* German PC-magazine. Sounds even worse for Impress. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this issue.
