------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 31 13:11:27 -0700 2006 ------- Impress has the same problem as MS Office when loading Powerpoint presentations created in a certain way on a Mac. If the Mac user creates their presentation by dragging and dropping images into the content window, especially from a web browser, then the images will be unreadable on the PC, either in MS Powerpoint or Impress. In Powerpoint the images show up with a text placeholder that says "Quicktime is needed to view this image" or similar. Under Impresss the images simply show up as black. I believe this problem is due to the fact that OS X uses Quicktime to handle image manipulation functions and images on the clipboard. These image manipulation functions and system-level hooks are apparently not available or exposed in Quicktime for PC. Loading and saving a presentation with these broken images results in a much smaller presentation which has evidently had the broken images removed. I have tested this also on the latest Office 2007 beta and it is still not fixed. This seems like a clear opportunity for OOo.org to surpass MS Office in capability and compatibility. This is an extremely widespread problem and yes MS has failed to resolve it even for the 2007 version. A great many converts to OOo.org could come out of enabling OOo.org to load and display the images in these presentations properly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
