Created attachment 153817 [details] screenshot of content area empty but navigator and slides pane listing content After working on an 18 slide presentation for a few days, the most recent save, close, and re-open resulted in the 'Normal' view of the presentation in Impress being completely white and empty, with the content invisible. Exporting to PDF renders content correctly, as do the slide thumbnail views in the left hand side panel. 'Outline' appears to be OK, as is 'Slide sorter' (all content rendered correctly). The 'Navigator' panel lists elements correctly. However Notes is also empty and invisible. Saving and opening the file as PPTX or OTP has the same results. The presentation is confidential and cannot be shared publicly.
Correction: when saved and opened as pptx the issue is in fact resolved -- the 'Normal' and 'Notes' view are again visible.
Has there been any accident with that file, e.g a crash while the file was open? The reason might be, that the layer-set has got wrong 'visible' information. Please make a copy of the file and change the file name extension to .zip. Open the package and examine the sub-file style.xml. Open it in an editor and look for "draw:layer-set". There you will find five times "draw:layer". Has any of them a property "draw:display"? There should not be such property for a presentation document. Export to pptx would indeed fix such problem, because that is a different file format, which does not know anything about "layer". And reimport would generate the default set.
