Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Open pps as ppt

Hello,

I just did a test here (Debian squeeze-LibO 3.3.1). I downloaded a file.
pps from Internet and asked to open instead of downloading. The
LibreOffice opened the file correctly starting the display
automatically. But when you click on the esc key Libo closed everything.
Then rename the file to .ppt and everything worked right.
