Package: openoffice.org-impress Version: 1:3.2.1-9 Severity: important Tags: squeeze upstream
Exporting to ppt creates files that are partly unreadable by current powerpoint. "PowerPoint was unable to display some of the text, images, or objects on slides in the file "...", because they have become corrputed. Affected slides have been replaced by blank slides in the presentation and it is not possible to recover the lost information. To ensure that the file can be opened in previous versions of PowerPoint and use Save As command and save the file with either the same or a new name." Saving the file from PowerPoint then permanently loses the data on the slides. The problem has been described here: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&p=167520 and one sample .ppt file is attached within the thread. A more in-depth analysis can be found here: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=111404 In short: grouping objects as written by OO are not recognized as valid anymore. As a workaround, it is possible to ungroup all objects in the presentation in OO, then export the file to powerpoint. The problem has been filed as an OpenOffice.org issue here: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=116023 It was potentially fixed as the "group shape bug", one of two bugs in http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=115898 I can't see what patches were applied as a fix // what revisions belong to the report, though - from the bug I assume, that the fix is for 3.3.x and might need to be adjusted for 3.2.1 in squeeze.
