Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Thanks Tom for your replies and thoughts!! I did more testing and submitted two bug reports agains the latest 5.1 alpha 1, since the problem is in that version, too. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95503 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95502 It seems

Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Hello, I wonder if it will be helpful to raise these issues during the upcoming bug hunt? (assuming they are not fixed?) If so what's the best way to bring it up? Just reproduce the problem during the hunt and report it? Thanks. On 12/10/2015, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) >

Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Yes - best is just to report the bug and attach the document. Provide details about your version of LibreOffice and your OS. Also, it's always nice if you test against old versions of LibreOffice to find out if it's a regression or not as finding regressions is one of the key goals of doing bug

Thanks Tim and Tom for your quick responses. I *think* what I am experiencing might be related to the bug report you mentioned, I'll check again soon to see. In response to Tom: 1. I generally avoid the 2007-2013 Microsoft XML format since I am aware of all its problems... :) Unfortunately when

Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Hi :) Thanks for your reply and your good humour! :) 2. Since it seems to be the bug Tim linked to i agree that trying "Still" wont make any difference. 4. I agree about Impress. Several LO-fanboys, over the years, have said that Impress is worse than Powerpoint. But comparing the merits of

[libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Hello, I've noticed that .pptx files (I selected the Microsoft PowerPoint 2007-2013 XML format) I created and saved with LibreOffice Impress 5.0.x (I tried both 5.0.2 the version before it) do not open correctly in Microsoft Office 2010. When opening, PowerPoint tells me that the file is

Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Hi :) I mostly just agree with Tim Lloyd but with more detail and alternatives. 1. Always avoid the 2007-2013 Microsoft XML format!!! It's not just one format, for a start! It's so inconsistently implemented in each version of MS Office that they call each version a new "transitional" format.

Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Hi, this looks like your problem, can you confirm pls? https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59323 If this is the same it is worth adding your comments. As a workaround though, is it possible to save the file as .ppt? Cheers On 12/10/15 08:07, avamk wrote: Hello, I've

Re: [libreoffice-users] pptx files can't be opened when created with Impress 5.0.x

Something else to be aware of is that a presentation with sound is not compatible; the two programs handle sound completely differently. PowerPoint stores sound within the application, while Impress only stores links to the sound files (voice of experience here!). Dave Liesse -- To
