Bug ID: 155365
Summary: Notes don't display correctly when presenting MS
Office pptx files in Impress
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I use Impress at work because I'm a Linux user in a sea of Windows and Mac
folks. My company distributes Power Point .pptx files. When I open them in
Impress, there are a number of glitches, but the worst is that the speaker
notes get mangled.
I posted some sanitized pix to https://imgur.com/a/vEgGwZm - the first is what
I see when I view notes in Impress. The second is what I actually see on the
notes page when I'm presenting.
In Notes view, I see a paragraph break and bullet points. In the presentation
notes, I don't see a paragraph break, and no bullets. I've taken to editing
every slide deck and I have to add a space on every newline for every paragraph
break. I remove bullets and substitute a dash or double dash so I can follow
bullets. It's really frustrating and time consuming. Every time my employer
posts an update to slides, I have to edit 12-15 units and insert spaces for
every newline, delete bullets, and add dashes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pptx file.
2. Present and try to read notes.
3. Notes do not reflect paragraph breaks or any special characters
Actual Results:
Paragraph breaks are not honored, and the newline is lost. Special characters
like bullet points or numbers are not displayed in the presenter notes. It's
really hard to use the notes. I have to manually edit each of the 12-15 units
for the presentations I have and remove bullets and numbers and manually add
dashes in place of bullets and manually type line numbers.
Expected Results:
The notes in the presenter console should show paragraph breaks and display
characters like bullets or numbers.
Reproducible: Always
