Versions 4.1.4.0.0+ and 4.2.0.0.beta1+ view a font problem in this ppt file: LibreOffice says that the used font is Wingdings. You can fix the problem by doing this: 1/ Open Styles and Formatting (F11) 2/ Select "Outline 1" style, right clic and choose modify 3/ In the Font tab change the font 4/ OK That said, I can open this file without problem with version 4.0.6 which that the font used is Tahoma. Please could you try this version too. You can easily download it at http://fr.libreoffice.org/telecharger/ Now, it might be interesting to know which software and which version your professor used to produce her ppt file. And what is the OS of her computer. Best regards. JBF Thanks for the workaround. The professor's software looked like windows 7 and MS Office 2010. I experienced similar, though less drammatic issues with the PPTs of another professor. In his case I am sure he used MS Office 2010 on Windows 7. Attribudes such as bold/italic/underline do not match between what is shown on his screen and what I get on LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 / Xubuntu 13.10. You will forgive me for not trying the LibreOffice version you are suggesting, for three reasons: (1) This is my production machine. I cannot afford to cause unnecessary downtime, nor can I afford backward-incompatibility within my documents. (2) Installing French localized software on my English localized machine is probably not a good idea. The PPT is in French because I am temporarily on academic exchange in a French-speaking university. (3) For Ubuntu, I prefer software from the official repositories or from Ubuntu-hosted PPAs such as https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa or for the specific version you are suggesting https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-4-0 I will be back home, where I have a spare machine that I can experiment with, after the New Year. If you still want me to test an older version of LibreOffice on Ubuntu, I can do it then on that machine, but frankly I doubt such a test will have much value. Libreoffice may say that the font used is Wingdings, but MS Office, on which the file was created and opens correctly, says it is not. I will leave it up to you to conclude which one of the two is right and which one is wrong. I can't reproduce this in current master version. Please reopen if you still have this issue. I confirm that the file opens and displays correctly in LibreOffice Version 4.2.4.2 on Xubuntu 14.04. Many thanks for fixing this! |
