Re: [libreoffice-users] Presentation conversion to/from Powerpoint - layout

Hi :)
It might be better to convert to Odp and then it should look the same on both machines.  

According to Microsoft you can expect differences in the way documents are displayed between their 
different operating systems.  A file produced in MS Office 2010 on Xp might well look different if 
it's displayed in MS Office 2010 on Win7 even if they use the same printer and all settings are as 
close as they can be.    Odp tends to look the same.  

Usually the older formats tend to work better, Ppt rather than PptX or Odp 1.1 rather than the 
default Odp 1.2 (Extended). If you really need things to look exactly the same then an uneditable 
format such as Pdf would be better.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I have Powerpoint on one machine and LibreOffice on another. I want to be
able to edit and save PowerPoints on either machine. However, when loading
Ppt in Presentation it does not always convert font and layout properly.
Occasional tabs or spaces are missing or duplicated; occasional text boxes
have text outside the slide, etc.

 Then when I then save the presentation as ppt it changes the font, for
example, from bold to basic and shows tabs or spaces (see above) as missing.

Is there some way of ensuring that the conversions are consistent and
presentations can be switched back and forth?

As a separate issue, in some cases Presentation show jpg's as "sqeezed" in
the slide listing on the left, although they are OK when I click on the
slide or when I do the show.
