--- Comment #2 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #1) > Regina, I'm not sure I can reproduce as described. With the following steps > tested in 7.2, 7.3 and 24.2: > > 1. Open Impress > 2. Insert > Shape > Line > Curve > 3. Save as PPTX > 4. Reload I have described the way through PPTX only to show how a normal user can come into this situation. The request itself is independent from MS Office. > 5. Right-click > Convert > To curve That is only a workaround but no solution. Reasoning: * Converting to curve looses the text in its editable form, but converts it to curves * Only closed Bézier curves can be filled, whereas a not closed path in a custom-shape can be filled. * Bézier curves are totally different from custom-shapes in the way they adjust texts to the shape. Especially, they have no automatic line wrap. * Bézier curves have no "Toggle Extrusion". > Also, is this related to bug 137682? No, that is about export filter to OOXML. And providing a tool to the user that allows to edit handles and equations would be much more complicated. Therefor this request is restricted to the case where no handles or equations exist. My request is more like this: Give the user a tool to create and edit curves similar to Bézier curves but as custom-shapes, to combine the advantages of custom-shapes with the flexibility of Bézier curves. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
