Hi Jeff, Sorry you got a less than welcoming response to your question on the Apache list, but let's see what we can do to help you.
My suggestions are given in-line with your original message. -------- Original Message -------- From: Jeffrey Deutsch <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2013 23:49:03 -0400 > Hello, > > My wife is willing to consider converting to LibreOffice 4 > permanently. Here's her major issue, in two parts: > > (1) She does not know how to start or use Notes in LibO Impress (the > presentation part). It's not clear to me what you mean by "how to start or use Notes". You will find it helpful to read the "Getting Started" and "User" guides, available from: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ Specific information about Notes can be found in chapter 8 of the Impress User Guide: http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/impress-guide/published-lo-4.0/ig4-0-ch8-adding-and-formatting-slides-notes-and-handouts/view > (2) When she starts (and saves) Notes in PowerPoint, and then works on > the presentation in LibO -- even if she does not touch the Notes while > in LibO -- when she re-opens the presentation in PowerPoint the Notes > are all fouled up every which way. > > When she uses LibO, it's version 4.0, on Windows 7 Home Premium, and > she saves the file as PowerPoint 2007/2010 (.pptx).

Although there have been many improvements in LO/MS XML compatibility there is still work to be done. As previously suggested to you by Clarence M Weaver, try using the older ".ppt" format to move presentations between Powerpoint and Impress. Clarence & I have both tested this and it appears to be a reliable work-around. > What does she need to do? > > Thank you very much! > > Jeff Deutsch Hope this helps.
