But above you stated just the opposite: display is bad when all options are "on". Could you please clarify this? Anyway, I will just explain what happens in both cases in OOo1.x, maybe this explains something to you. The most interesting difference between both methods of import is that without conversion of OLE objects (default setting!) they should be displayed as the original PPT file displays them because we just show the Windows Metafiles that have been put into the document by PPT. If anything looks different to the file in PPT this must be a problem of the Windows Metafile import code. If you convert files on loading we create new (OOo) metafiles, and now any deviation of the display clearly shows an import problem in the Excel filter. If you doubleclick on such an imported OLE object you should see the same displayed content because the OOo metafile we create on import is just a representation of the Calc object. In OOo2.0 we changed this. Now you should see the same display in both cases, but the display can change if you doubleclick one of the converted OLE objects because then you will see the result of the import, not the metafile stored by PPT, and the Excel import still can have the same bugs as in OOo1.x.
