------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 26 01:30:07 -0700 2005 ------- Congratulations on a great product. However.... I have permission to report a fault involving the powerpoint file accessible here http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs/phw-gc7-18-04-2005.ppt but the file should not be used for any other purpose please. It is not mine. Its owner wants to switch to OO on Linux but is deterred by compatibility problems, as illustrated in this powerpoint file. A. Viewing in OO 1.1.4 When displayed (even using the msttcorefonts) in OO 1.1.4 -- the best ever version of OpenOffice -- the text on the first slide (using Arial Narrow) does not fit into the viewing area, and other slides are not displayed properly unless I reduce the font size on that slide by several points. I have to reduce the header from 54 to 44, and the bottom line from 32 to 28pt. If I reduce those point sizes on slide 1 the rest of the file seems to work. However bullets come out as hollow boxes instead of solid diamonds -- a minor flaw. Why can't the reduction to fit be done automatically when the slide does not fit? (I have had this sort of problem with some fonts being displayed too large and screwing up formatting in all previous versions of OO.) The 'pi' character is not displayed properly on slides 2 and 3 (too small and colours displaced), though it is better on slide 4. It is generated correctly in the PDF version. I think everything else in this file works in 1.1.4, though I have not checked every detail. B. Viewing in OO 1.9.95 Using the OO 2.0 beta (1.9.95) things are much worse -- it is basically unusable. The slides fit into the viewing area OK, but many of the bullet points simply do not show up in slideshow mode when I click, even though they show up if I create a pdf file and view in xpdf. Examples are bullet points 1, 3 and 4 on slide 2: the bullets show, but not the tex. (They work in OO1.1.4). The 'pi' character is again not displayed properly on slides 2 and 3 (blue and black displaced, and character too small) though it's better on slide 4. Most of the animations seem to work, but there's a problem on slide 41. The vertical line under 'Gen' on the left (which works in 1.1.4) first appears too high, overlapping the box, and then slides down. Likewise the dashed diagonal arrows between the boxes labelled 'cell' and the 'display' box: they appear in the wrong place then adjust. This is a tolerable flaw but it's not there in 1.1.4, so it should be fixable. I think some of the other slides have similar problems. A general problem with OO that would drive me nuts if I used it regularly myself (I normally use Latex for my own papers and slides) is not being able to type a number to go directly to a slide. I find it very irritating to have to have use sliders and mouse, etc. (I am a keyboard person). But I can see how for MS users you have done a great job, and I have never seen such a large software package improve so fast. My tests were done on both a Dell D600 pentium M laptop running RedHat 9, and an AMD Athlon64 running Fedora Core 3. Both had the msttcore fonts. I shall be away in the USA 28thApril to 2nd May (at MIT) but will be happy to test out any new version after that. Email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] thanks.
