Added another file that was sent to me by mail. Reassigned to Christian. set to new. changed the target. I can see the bug in the attached documents. To reproduce: - run a MS-Office xp on win 2000 - print both files - they looks equal on screen but different after printing. Sven, I think this is more in your area of competence. It seems that the only one who can fix this bug is Microsoft. Perhaps someone should tell them about this problem :-) According to the comment from Sven I set this issue to invalid. I close the issue. ORIGINATOR'S RESPONSE If the same original file is edited by PowerPoint instead of by OpenOffice, no problem appears. I don't believe that this is a Microsoft bug (although it may be). Regardless, if OpenOffice is going to cause this, it's going to be real hard to make a case for people to go back and forth between OpenOffice and PowerPoint. I suggest that you please re-examine your position on this, and consider making OpenOffice work with PowerPoint. Closing this bug report will not make the problem go away. I appreciate all of the work that you and the rest of the team have put into a mostly wonderful product that I get for free. However, I believe that claiming compatibility with the PowerPoint file format is not a consistent statement as long as this problem exists. Best Wishes, -- Ian Shef Too late for beta2, re-targeted to 1.1 RC. Please have a look to the comment from Ian. change target to OOo 2.0, because we can't fix this in the RC timeframe. Needs to be investigated, I hope that we can fix this by rearranging the character attributes in the PPT export, but this won't be easy and cost some time. *** Issue 18373 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 23711 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** I change the target I have confirmed this issue and it is preventing me from using Impress at home, and Powerpoint at work. Once Impress modifies the file, I have not found any way to correct the printing issue. Strangely, the problem only appears to affect the font of the titles of all pages except page 1. It appears to change the font to some default and cannot be changed back. The print preview looks normal but the printed slides or handouts are wrong. Attempts were made to replicate the bug in the following test environment, but tests to reproduce the bug under MS Office XP / 2010 were unsuccessful; Product: OOo Impress Version: 4.0.1 Build: AOO401m5 (Build 9714), revision 15244958 Platform: Microsoft Windows XP/ Windows 8, Software: Microsoft Office XP / 2010, Hardware: Intel Core 2 Duo processor 1066 MHz T9800 (2.93HGz), Created attachment 82974 [details] PDF prints this got fixed as attachment shows 1. page: original file "Font Test.ppt" (attachment 3487 [details]) printed with PowerPoint 2003 2. page: orignial file exported with earlier version of OpenOffice (attachment 3489 [details]) and printed with PowerPoint 2003 this clearly is bugged 3. page: orignial file exported with AOO410m14(Build:9760) - Rev. 1580657 and printed with PowerPoint 2003 looks like original 4. page: orignial file printed with AOO |
