In my business, I created an Impress presentation and saved it as a
Powerpoint presentation using OpenOffice 2.0 Beta 1.9.???. Copying the
file to floppy, I tried it on my wife's work computer using MS Office
Powerpoint and it worked great! That was a few months ago. I also made
a backup copy.
The presentation consisted of 5 slides, each slide with the title of my
company. The first slide presented four bulleted points summarizing the
following four slides. The next four slides contain more bulleted
points in detail. The bulleted points were each timed when to fly in,
where to fly in, or appear individually.
I eventually upgraded to OpenOffice 2.0.1. Tonight, I had to delete a
slide from the file. I deleted the one slide from my standard copy and
re-saved it again as a Powerpoint file. Then I exited. However, when I
reloaded the file and played it, all the bulleted points just popped
in. There was no timing sequence, or direction.
I then tried the backup copy of the original file, created with
OpenOffice beta and saved as a .ppt Powerpoint file originally. It
worked great! I deleted the one slide, checked all the timing and
appearance sequences and played the presentation. The presentation
played as it was supposed to. I then saved it using a different name,
but as a Powerpoint file.I then closed the file. When I reopened the
file and attempted to play the presentation, all the bulleted points
just popped in. There, again, was no timing or appearance sequences.
I was so hoping to be able to create an Impress presentation of my
business as a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation for potential clients.
Is OpenOffice 2.0.1 less Microsoft compatible than OpenOffice 1.9.???
beta 2?
