I can verify the issue that Stephan is experiencing; he sent me sample OOo 3.0 Impress files with bullets & indentations. I opened the files in OOo 3.0 and they were fine. However opening the OOo 3.0 .odp file(s) in the following (all linux) resulted in complete loss of the bullets & indentations/paragraph formating: - OOo 2.4.1 - Ubuntu OOo 2.4.1 - StarOffice 8 (opening in StarOffice 9 Beta was fine) - Lotus Symphony 1 Note: I'll test on WinXP later. Now the interesting part is: if the OOo 3.0 Impress file is saved as a MS Office Powerpoint file (.ppt), that file opens just fine in the above and retains all the bullets & indentations. Pretty embarrassing that OOo 3.0 Impress can save as .ppt and retain it's bullets & formating, but saving as an .odp and opening in earlier versions of OOo does not. Just to be sure that the issue wasn't with Stephan's file, I opened the file and saved (using OOo 3.0) with a different filename to test. I've recommended that Stephan file a bug/issue as this is a serious regression IMO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
