From a long and tortured experience I recently had, it seems as long as
PowerPoint knows the document file was created by LibreOffice (or OpenOffice?)
it will continue to trash all the slides when it is reloaded by PP. Even after
fixing everything in PP and saving it as a PP specific format, and then
reloading it again in PP, it still ruined all the figures! It remembers its lack
of MS authenticity when saving apparently. When I finally opened a new/blank PP
presentation and simply pasted the entire OO presentation directly into it, from
the clipboard buffer, everything displayed just fine after saving and reloading
it. It seems as long as PP knows the 'file' genealogy came from somewhere else
it will try its best to mess things up for you. Not because it can't deal with
the data from another source, just because it was not PP that created that file.
I hope others have had better luck.

Yeah, PowerPoint translation from Open Office is generally still pretty broken.
However, my daughter in college has found that a presentation saved from Google
Docs into PowerPoint format comes out great.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
