Created attachment 135650 [details] Sample PPTX with no text - Roundtrip the attached "empty" PPT and PPTX samples in Impress. - Open the resulting files either in Impress or PowerPoint. => The placeholder text boxes are empty (they can't even be selected in Impress). Since they're there when the files are first opened, this is an export issue. Observed using LO 5.4.0.3 & 4.0.0.3 / Windows 7. Using the older version results in other issues as well that are gone by now. Possibly the issue with placeholder texts being lost during import was fixed in bug 103792. The PPT shows additional oddities upon opening, those will be reported in a different ticket.
