Just to be sure, you meant:
a ppt created from 3.5.4 LO crashes Powerpoint or a ppt created from Powerpoint crashes 3.5.4 LO?
Could you attach the ppt?

Hello

I can't attach this one for copyright reasons in some material included.
 I can't test other ppts under 3.5.6 as i had a very urgent work to do
on it  and had to reverse to 3.5.4 in emergency


summary : 

This ppt was created and maintained in lower versions of OO, Lib0 and microsoft word s

for our bug:

I found a crash on open under 3.5.6 (i did not tested it under 3.5.5 not having to open it while i had that version)


When i reversed to 3.5.4 on xp  it opened without issue so  i kept 3.5.4 on my other computer, aWindows 7 machine and it opens without problem.

I guess it's something on the conversion part.  in 3.5.6 or 3.5.5

When you'll have more time, would it be possible to remove copyright parts of the file?
Indeed, we can't do anything without the file except if you're able to compile LO on Windows and get a backtrace with symbols.
(see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build and http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_backtrace_.28on_WINDOWS.29)

On pc Debian x86-64, with 3.5 sources updated yesterday, last file provided by reporter doesn't open and shows this on console:

3.6 and master sources updated today opens the file, just noticed this on console:

Just update to "WORKSFORME" since there's no specific fix.
