Title: MS Office .pps files should open in presentation mode as with MS PowerPoint Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Baltix: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org MS Office .pps files are standard PowerPoint files that, when renamed from .ppt to .pps, open directly in presentation mode (F5) instead of edit mode. OpenOffice Impress should behave like MS PowerPoint, opening it directly in presentation mode, but this is not the case. It would be nice to have this properly fixed as it's an important feature when you want to use OOo on conference rooms, where the speaker arrives with its .pps file: if it starts in presentation mode there are no problem. If, instead, starts in edit mode it confuses the user (which most of the time never used OOo before). As a temporary workaround I suggest to use the ImpressRunner extension from http://oooconv.free.fr/impressRunner/ . I am using openoffice 2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1 from Ubuntu 8.10.
