Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81557
custom animation paths for objects are missing - results in poor conversion from MS PowerPoint
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:20:06 UTC
Description of Problem - feature request: One cannot set custom animation paths for objects in presentation. This results in poor effects when converting from MS PowerPoint when such a path is defined. Custom animation (movement) paths are converted to animation effects from Impress, which results in objects moving into/from outer space instead just moving to another place on the same slide. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open ws2.ppt from the attachment in MS Powerpoint 2. observe the movement paths of the sample document icon. 3. open ws2.ppt in OpenOffice.org Impress 4. see the same document icon animated Actual Results: In Impress there is no movement, elements just dissapear and appear in new locations Expected Results: The elements move with defined path, as in PowerPoint How often does this happen? alwayts Additional Information (OS patch level, drivers, library version, etc.)

I see this is fixed in release 2.3.0, so I am closing it now.
Reopened again and changed to defect. Custom movement paths are implemented in OpenOffice 2.3.0 but still opening the presentation created in PowerPoint with custom movement paths doesn't convert these movement paths into correct form. The effect is the same, as in version 2.2, and probably 2.0 and 2.1 as well
I tried to create a presentation ws3 (attached) in OpenOffice 2.3.0 with two object and custom movement paths. Then I saved it as PowerPoint and opened in MS Office. The movement paths are not imported properly. What is strange, they are saved in the document, because if .ppt file is opened in OpenOffice the movement paths are still there, as originally defined.
