             Bug #: 46594
           Summary: Impress and pptx power points.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO Master
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Presentation
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


the bug is when importing pptx files into libreoffice the power point slides
show click to edit master text styles, first level third level and second level
text. i'm not the only person who has decided that this was a problem from a
class mates presentation... 


Can LibreOffice please fix this bug!!!!! It's really important I have received
power point slides for Ancient History from my teacher and they are 40mb!
plus!!! i can't convert all of the pptx files as it takes to long with online
converters and saving them in microsoft office 2010 on windows as odp is a
complete disaster... 

I am using an unstable development version of libreoffice 3.6 LOdev
3.6.0alpha0+ e9d045f-f8506ca-8a74106-f0d66f on a mac and I even have
libreoffice 3.5 on ubuntu. it is really important that it gets fixed because
everything else in the pptx file works really except this annoying bug!!!!
these powerpoints have more than 40 slides!!!!! can some help ressolve this
issue???? instead of deleting the text one by one on all the slides... i tried
saving these on mac office 2011, as a ppt file and it just crashed!!!1? If a
fix is released in a daily version unstable release of libreoffice on one of
the mirrors even if its windows mac or linux.. i can access that version and
save those slides as an odp so that it works really well with libreoffice 3.5..
on my ubuntu desktop as an odp file....

work around... deleted the bug and problem by deleting everything in master
view in microsoft 2011 on mac.. I think the problem is when someone opens a
presentation as ppt file say for microsoft 2003, and then they save it as
microsoft 2010 format .pptx it then gets all jumbled up with libreoffice....
there should be an option (one button click) to delete all styles and charts
and graphics and tittle and footer boxes in master view on libreoffice as
well.. (delete the whole master slide!) so its a blank power point canvas in
master view. just by deleting all the slides and ending up with the last one as
a blank white canvas. ( I don't think you can do that in libreoffice for ALL
the slides like you can in microsoft office. (even microsoft office can't do
that very well what I just described :) more information:

But I found another work around also. In office 2011 for Mac if you select all
of your slides by clicking on a slide and then using the keyboard shortcut
(command a)that will select all the slides. If you click layout under the home
button ribbon. And select blank. It changes the master slide layouts. That is
what worked for me. Then you can open it as a pptx file in impress. Something
isn't working to well with layouts in Libreoffice I suspect.
