Description Corey Bodendein 2011-08-01 17:32:47 UTC

In Impress, you can not choose the Microsoft Office .ppt format as the default format to save in.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Impress
2. Click Tools --> Options
3. Under Load/Save, choose General
4. In the Default file format and ODF settings section, choose Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (there are two of them, bug?) and click OK
5. Choose File --> Save As


Actual Results:

Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.pps) is listed in the Save as type


Expected Results:

Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt) would be listed in the Save as type.


Comments:

Choosing either "Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP" from the Options menu has the same result (.pps being the default format) and if you go back into the Options menu, the first "Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP" is always selected, even if you previously chose the second one.

Failed to reproduce on LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:103) for OpenSuse Linux.

Works fine for me, and works on Writer and Calc as well.

To answer your question on two same selections of 97/2000/XP, for me, one is the presentation template file, .pot, and the other one is the actual presentation file, .ppt.

I tried this on LibreOffice 3.3.2 (package version 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5) on Ubuntu 11.04 on a different machine and there are still two "Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP" entries and they both save them as a .ppt file.

Hi Corey,

Works fine for me in 3.4.5rc1 3.5.0 beta on Linux
Could you pls try it once more in a recent version?
Thanks - Cor

I tried LibreOffice 3.4.4 and now there is only one option for Microsoft
PowerPoint 97/2000/XP and it does save it as a .ppt, since no one else has reported a similar problem in the first place and the issue seems resolved to me, I'm going to go ahead and mark this as resolved.
