------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 10 05:22:53 -0700 2006 ------- ayaniger -> sj: I've gathered some data about this issue, and I would appreciate your help in interpreting the data. In the version of PowerPoint on which the sample presentation, datetest.ppt, was created, there are 13 English date/time formats and 6 Hebrew date/time formats. In datetest.ppt, the formats are listed on the slide in the same order as they appear in PowerPoint's “choose date format” dialog box. Of PowerPoint's English formats the first 7 have the date alone, the next 2 have both date and time, and the last 4 have the time alone. When datetest.ppt is imported into OOo, the date/time format value is passed as “nVal” to the function PPTFieldEntry::SetDateTime in svx/source/svdraw/svdfppt.cxx. If the formats are in English, the value of nVal corresponds to the format's position in the PowerPoint “choose date format” dialog box. That is, the first value in the list of English formats is 0, the second is 1, and so on. If the formats are in Hebrew, for some reason the value of nVal is increased by 7. The first value in the list of Hebrew formats is 7, the next is 8, and so on. This is confusing OOo. It treats the 7, which is supposed to be a Hebrew date format, as if it were number 7 in the list of English formats, which is a combined date/time format. Similarly, 8 is treated as if it were number 8 in the English list. As a result, the last 4 Hebrew formats appear as times instead of dates, since the last 4 entries in the English table are time formats. While “nVal” in SetDateTime tells us the position of the format in the format list, it seems that there must be another setting which tells us which list we are looking at. OOo is apparently ignoring that value. Any direction here would help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
