Hi,
Here is additional information.
Applying steps described in the article, [1] or [2], to Office 2007,
the problematically flipped images have become not-flipped.
1. Start regedit on Vista
2. Create a new key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Draw
3. Create a new entry
QFE_FlipPictures (DWORD)
4. Assign a value to it.
5. Start PowerPoint 2007 and open the bugdoc.
Value Result
===== ================
0 some images are flipped
1 some images are flipped
2 all images are drawn properly
3 all images are drawn properly
4 some images are flipped

Hi Sven,
I cannot decide if we should treat that or not.
Although the users apply the fix to Office XP - Office 2000 seems no
longer supported - following information below, existing documents in
their file server will remain. Opening them with not-yet-treated
OpenOffice.org will sometimes give the users a bad experiences. They can
manually fix the direction of the affected images one by one on
OpenOffice.org by simple choosing a context menu 'Flip - Vertically.'
However, there is no chance to fix them when the document files are
processed by a server process of OpenOffice.org on their application
servers.
According to their Help and Support page
"Pictures in documents that were created in an earlier version of
Office appear flipped in Office XP and Office 2003"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312838
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312838/en-us/
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B312838&x=13&y=15
They seem to admit that the symptom is cased by a bug in Office and
provide users with information for both sides: creation side, Office
2000 and XP, and affecting side, Office 2003.
=== cited from the web page above ===
This problem occurs when you open documents that were created in the
following versions of Microsoft Office:
* Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 1 (SR-1)
* Microsoft Office 97 Service Release 2 (SR-2)
* Microsoft Office 2000
* Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1 (SR-1)
These earlier versions of Microsoft Office ignore the FlipVertical and
FlipHorizontal properties when you open a document. This is why this
problem does not appear to occur in the earlier versions of Office.
However, because Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2003 read
these properties when you open a document, the images appear flipped,
even if that was not the original intent of the author.
Note This problem may occur even if the picture does not appear flipped,
but the flipped properties are set. This can occur when you drag the
handles of an image past the image boundary in Office 97 SR-1, Office 97
SR-2, and Office 2000. In Office 2000 SR-1 and Office XP, when you drag
the handles of an image past the image boundary, the image visually
flips and the flipped properties are set.

Christan is right, we should stay with the latest Office version, if they
are now supporting flipped graphics objects, then we have to support
this feature also. If now old Office versions generate wrong documents,
by setting the SP_FLIP flags (without flipping the graphic), then
perhaps this is a bug and this old Office should be patched or updated
to a newer one. There is nothing we can do.
Best regards,
Sven

Hi Tora,
than this is a bug in Microsoft Office, most likely in the Mac
version. OpenOffice.org can
do nothing about it.

Hi Christian,
I have just opened the proprietary bugdoc (step 1 to 3 have been
already done), which was provided by the customer before, with
Office 2007 English running on Vista English.
Result:
The image is shown in a vertically flipped way.
All images except the problematic image are shown properly.
The bugdoc seemed to be edited with Office 2000 Japanese on Windows
Japanese.
I am trying to ask the customer to prepare a bugdoc which can be
attached in the Issue Tracker.
Regards,
Tora

Hi Tora,
is the error also reproducable if you do the following?
1. Create a PowerPoint file with Office 2007 Windows.
2. Open it with Office 2000 Macintosh.
3. Edit it and save it.
4. Open it with Office 2007 on Windows
Regards,
Christian
