Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14155
Text box font-style export to PowerPoint broken
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
Text boxes in Impress lose their correct font and colour (i.e. Style info) when the document is exported to MS-PowerPoint format and opened in PowerPoint. Note that, the PowerPoint document retains it's correct fonts/colours when re-opened in OpenOffice. This is a new bug in OO-1.1beta which was not evident in OO-1.0.2 I've attached an example *.sxi document to demonstrate this bug. I'll post the resulting *.ppt file if it's requested. Bryan

I see the bug in the attached document but I can't reproduce it in a new document. Please have a look.
OK, new documents created in v-1.1beta do not show this problem. However documents created in v-1.1beta, but using my existing template (which was created with OOo-v1.0) *do* show the problem. I can obviously work around the problem by making a new template in v-1.1beta, however this does still suggest an underlying bug in openoffice. I'll attach my template file. Bryan

Hi Y'all, I still see this bug in OOo-1.1beta2. I've trace it a bit though: The font export problem occurs only with text formatted using Default Style to "soft-format" it. If you manually set the text font to e.g. Arial (i.e. hard format the text) the text is exported to ppt with the correct font. I'll attach a couple of files as an example. Note: contrary to my previous posts, this bug is NOT related to the template used. I can reproduce the bug using a "virgin" installation of OOo-1.1beta2, with no additional templates etc. Bryan

When creating a PDF file, the text positioning is correct, in an on-screen show it's broken.
Indeed, this is a bug, I'll try to fix this soon.
I have similar problam and I think this is the same bug. When I use international characrters (Lithuanian), those characters are displayed in different font in powerpoint. When I open the same file in OpenOffice - everything is ok. This bug only occurs when you change font or other formating not using styles. If you use only styles and change formating in styles - everything is ok.
Because of limited resource for OOo2.0, it was decided to shift this tasks to the next milestone. If somebody will be found, who can implement this until OOo2.0, then this tasks will be re-targeted.
sj->cgu: in the latest OOo version I am no longer able to reproduce this issue, so most probably it has been fixed somehow in the meantime.
I can't also reproduce the bug any longer. I change the resolution to invalid.
I close the issue as invalid.
