Your are wasting your time. Make a cost-benefit analysis and decide whether to use either LO or m$; do not bother trying to use both. > Then when I then save the presentation as ppt it changes the font, for > example, from bold to basic and shows tabs or spaces (see above) as missing. > This is because m$ has no desire to use odf. To prove the point, create an odp (two versions, one odf11, another odf12) document using LO. Open the odp document using m$. Send details of the changes to the odp file that m$ causes, to m$ technical support. Tell us the results of your contact with m$. > Is there some way of ensuring that the conversions are consistent and > presentations can be switched back and forth? > Never in a million years. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
