Description shanky 2002-08-20 09:28:44 UTC 
PPT files, exported from Lotus Freelance Graphics, are not opened in Impress. 
They are opened in PowerPoint97. Impress gives an version incompatible message 
(and crashes in WinNT).Since Impress doesn't support Freelance files, and the 
only closest common file format seems to be PPT, this issue is critical.

Hi, 
I would like to take a look at this problem, but I don't have a PPT 
document that is exported by Lotus Freelance. Can you please provide 
an attachement.
Thanks,
Sven

This bug has been fixed now and will be available in OpenOffice v1.02 
and StarOffice 6.0 PP2.

The fix takes place in svx/source/svdraw/svdfppt.cxx -r1.88
Comment 6 shanky 2002-08-21 13:13:49 UTC 
Thanx a lot. Can you give me the drop in targets for Linux and 
WindowsNT, as of now? Thanks a lot once again.
Comment 7 sven.jacobi 2002-08-21 14:30:04 UTC 
Sorry, I can't provide binaries, but you are able to build the fix on 
your own. Just compile the svx module and make the changes I made in 
svx/source/svdraw/svdfppt.cxx -r1.88, or you wait for OpenOffice 
v1.02.

Hi
The fix has not gone into SRX643_OO. Will it be available for 
download in any of the future Dev builds (in Linux)? When will OO 
1.0.2 get released?
Comment 9 Unknown 2002-10-29 04:55:33 UTC 
Can you please let me know about my previous question?
Comment 10 sven.jacobi 2002-10-29 10:08:26 UTC 
Yes, you are right, the fix did not make it into SRX643_OO.
The revision of the file where I fixed the problem is 1.88, but in 
the OpenOffice version the file revision is only 1.86.

So I can only promise that the fix will be available within the next 
developer build (SRX644 or so)
But I am sorry, I cannot say when it is time for version 1.0.2, this 
may last a while.
Comment 11 christian.guenther 2003-01-15 14:49:37 UTC 
Verified in the last developer build (srx643)
Comment 12 christian.guenther 2003-01-15 14:49:59 UTC 
I close the issue.
