just checked it in both LO 3.3.4 and 3.4.3.'97 format (ie,ppt) showing the dashed line as dashed line when opened in LO.when the file is saved into .pptx,the dashed line is getting converted into a solid one. so,for me,'97 format is working properly. anybody else having difficulty with '97 format???????? regards, On 11 September 2011 21:01, Spencer Graves <spencer.gra...@prodsyse.com>wrote: > For me, the answer is NOT obvious, because of (a) the occasional > incompatibilities and (b) the things that are easier in MS Office than > LibreOffice.
