I have used the impress program to produce two presentations for my work as a teacher. The first time, it ate fifteen pages. I loaded it on a more powerful machine and I can’t account for three missing pages. I save my work all the time, even though it autosaves, and I deleted only one page myself. The thumbnails show the wrong pictures. If you drag and drop a page that’s out of order, sometimes it just vanishes. ... I have used open office forever and I’ve never needed to contact you prior to these problems.
Hi, this is a very uncommon report: but indeed OpenOffice Impress has a new slide management functionality; if you installed an old beta, this functionality was still incomplete there and occasionally it would lead to instability and crashes, at least on my system. But if you installed the official version from http://www.openoffice.org/ then it should be robust and stable as usual.
What you might have missed is that in the "Normal" view there is now a pop-up interface that allows you to hide a slide (just move the mouse over a thumbnail); hidden slides are not deleted, but they won't appear if you run your presentation.
Since it was an upgrade, a common advice we give to people who upgrade and report problems is to reset their user profile; you just need to rename a folder, see http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12426#p58403 for more information.
Regards, Andrea.
