In the intervening four years I have lost interest in this issue
and do not intend to retest it.

I fail to see the point of a bug tracking system where reporters
put a lot of effort into reporting issues only to be told years
later to retest because the bug may have been fixed by accident.
You don't need a bug tracking system to manage a process like
that--just redirect everything to /dev/null.

This appears to be closely related to--or a duplicate of--issue 45923. It might
be best to vote for just one of these issues to get someone to finally look at
it after almost FOUR YEARS! Like many here, this is the single biggest problem
I have with Impress.

[graphics-issues] [Issue 45923] Export to Powerpoint cause s problems with Notes View

See issue 71329 for a variation on this problem: when files are created in
Powerpoint, there is a problem showing the slides on the notes pages.

I have this problem in 2.4.1. In an older version, reapplying the layout
to the notes page used to fix the problem temporarily (it broke again
the next time the document was saved). However, in 2.4.1, reapplying the
layout to the notes page makes the slide appear off the top left of the
page and full size. I can drag the slide down to the page, but I cannot
resize it. It appears bigger than the page and covers the notes, so
there is now no useful workaround and Impress is useless to me.

Back to Powerpoint for me.

This might help: changing the page (paper) size for the notes pages makes
the slide appear aligned to the top left of the page instead of way off
to the top right of the screen. The slide is still too big, though, and
is stretched into a portrait orientation instead of landscape (as if
mimicking the orientation of the notes page in which it is embedded).

I've been using XSLT stylesheets to create the content.xml file in 
Open Document format in OO.o Writer 1.9.122. The source documents 
in DocBook XML format specify table column widths proportionally using 
the n* notation, where n is the proportion. These values are copied 
directly to the Open Document content because they are defined to mean 
the same thing and work the same way. In Open Document the content 
looks like this: 
 
  style:style style:family=table-column style:name=col1 
style:table-column-properties style:rel-column-width=40*/ 
  /style:style 
 
  style:style style:family=table-column style:name=col2 
style:table-column-properties style:rel-column-width=60*/ 
  /style:style 
 
  !--  -- 
 
  table:table table:style-name=YYY table:table-name=t1 
table:table-columns 
  table:table-column table:style-name=col1/ 
  table:table-column table:style-name=col2/ 
/table:table-columns 
 
!-- ... -- 
 
  /table:table 
 
When I open this content in Writer, it looks fine. The column widths are 
split 40:60 as expected. However, if the proportions are specified as 
values that do not resemble percentages, it does not work. The same 
relative column widths can be specified using 2* and 3* instead of 
40* and 60*, but small numbers like that result in all columns 
appearing to be the same width. 
 
Because the percentage-like ratios work and the very same ratios 
specified using non-percentage-like values do not work, I suspect that 
the relative column widths are being interpreted as percentages instead 
of arbitrary ratios. This does not conform to the Open Document 1.0 
specification (section 15.9.1 Column Width) that shows how the widths 
should be calculated from the proportional values (the same way as 
DocBook does it, which it why the transformation should be so convenient 
and why I noticed that there was a problem). 
 
I tried to find the source code that does this calculation but got 
completely lost and couldn't find anything at all--I didn't even know 
which CVS repository might contain the code--so, I can't confirm that 
the reason for the problem is what I suspect it might be. Does anyone 
know where that code might be?

[sw-issues] [Issue 53489] Column widths in Writer o nly calculated in percent values

Are you sure this should be treated as an enhancement? Treating the
relative column widths as percent values is simply wrong and not
just an incomplete implementation that can later be enhanced. The
treatment only works when, by accident or design, the relative widths
add up to approximately 100 (once the total is close to 100, any slight
error will probably go unnoticed).

The Open Document specification says:

  A relative width is specified by the style:rel-column-width
  property that takes a number value, followed by a '*' character.
  If rc is the relative with [sic] of the column, rs the sum of
  all relative columns widths, and ws the absolute width that is
  available for these columns, then the absolute with wc of the
  column is wc=rc ws/rs.

Nowhere is there any suggestion that these values should be assumed
to be percentage values. As I cannot find the code in question, I
would guess that the error is that rs (the sum of all relative
column widths) is being assumed to be 100 instead of being calculated
correctly by summing the relative width values for each column.

This use of n* notation for relative width values is identical to
the proportional width scheme defined in the DocBook specification
and assuming the values to be percentages (despite the * character,
not the % character) hinders what was probably a deliberate attempt
to make the specifications compatible in this respect.

In the meantime, I can work around this by converting the ratios to
percentage values, but this is not easy to do in what was an otherwise
simple XSLT stylesheet (I might post my solution later if I can get
something working).
