Ran test on 3.5.0b2 on Windows XP SP3. The result of exporting to .pptx is that the rotations are lost. Moreover, Powerpoint 2003 (with the 2007 filters installed) could not open the file.
The result of export to .ppt is complex. When viewed in LOImpress 3.5.0b2 the ppt file looks like: "Text rotated 90" is at -90 "Text rotated 180" is at 90 when viewed in Powerpoint 2003 "Text rotated 90" is at -90 "Text rotated 180" is at 0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505188 Title: [Upstream] Impress mis-rotates text saving to .pptx Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: In Progress Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Ubuntu-Karmic Openoffice version (3.1.1 = 310m19) 64bits & 32bits Binary package hint: libreoffice 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress libreoffice-impress: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen is when one performs at the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/505188/+attachment/1868399/+files/rotations.odp && loimpress -nologo rotations.odp click File -> Save as -> File type: Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 XML (.pptx) -> Save button -> Keep format button -> close file -> reopen via the Terminal: loimpress -nologo rotations.pptx the text is displayed as it was in rotations.odp. 4) What happens instead is that the text in rotations.pptx have been rotated erroneously.
