TFedor <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from TFedor <[email protected]> --- Mac OS X 10.7.5, PPT for Mac 2011 Version 14.3.7, OpenOffice 4.0.1 While I am able to reproduce this concern, I believe this behavior is expected as standard internationalization functionality. Here are some supporting ideas/reasons for this: * Compared to PPT, behavior is the same, PPT and OO Presentation are dependent on computer locale when the date/time update automatically option is chosen. * Other OpenOffice applications exhibit the same behavior. * An excerpt from the book The Tiny Guide to OpenOffice.org, by Benjamin Horst, ISBN 1-930919-66-2 -- says a bit about this "…Each inserted field will be automatically updated with the correct metadata, taken from your computer's internal clock…" These are my steps to reproduce: * confirm computer is in English locale * create PPT presentation * insert footer * there are two options here, choice of which determines auto updating of date/time (see attachment) ** Update Automatically ** Fixed ** choose Update Automatically and use the drop-down to select format, Apply * save PPT * open PPT in OO Presentation, save as odp and then close OO * change computer locale to Chinese (or any other locale), save * open OO and open the OO Presentation * notice the date/time is now in Chinese format (which is my expectation with this process) * close OO * change computer locale back to English now to see how English locale will stay throughout this process: * confirm computer is in English locale * create PPT presentation * insert footer ** choose Fixed, enter date in free text field, Apply * save PPT * open PPT in OO Presentation, save as odp and then close OO * change computer locale to Chinese (or any other locale), save * open OO and open the OO Presentation * notice the date/time is in English format (which is my expectation with this process) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
