Description: 1. When saving an ODP file in Powerpoint (PPT) format, the export function removes character formatting, specifically "outlines". These are not lost in the ODP file. So working with a PPT file looses the formatting each time a save is done but working with ODP is ok. This is repeatable when saving to PPS. 2. When saving an ODP file in Powerpoint (PPTX) format, slide backdrop photos are lost and an arbitrary theme is loaded instead. The character formatting remains damaged. This is repeatable when saving to PPSX. In addition when saving as PPSX the slideshow function does not operate. In both cases in business situations (relying on text outlines and backdrop images with a slideshow) where the recipient of the presentation can only handle MS Powerpoint and cannot work with Libreoffice this renders Libreoffice useless Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new presentation (no template). Save as ODP 2. Place a big photo as slide backdrop (slide/set background image 3. Place some text (big - 32 pt is good); select text, activate "outline" 4. Save file again (in ODP) 5. Save as, select PPT format. 6. Close LibreOffice 7. Repeat step 5 and 6, saving in PPS, PPTX and PPSX 8. Open LibreOffice on PPS; note results 9. Close LibreOffice 10. Repeat steps 9 and 9, on PPS, PPTX and PPSX respectively Actual Results: PPT and PPS lose text outlines, retaining only the text colour (as solid colour). PPTX loses backdrop photos, loses text outlines, retaining only the text colour (as solid colour). PPSX does not run as a slideshow, loses backdrop photos, loses text outlines, retaining only the text colour (as solid colour). Expected Results: A. All file format versions should be seamlessly interchangable B. All file versions should retain text formatting C. PPTX and PPSX should not lose backdrop photos D. PPTX and PPSX should not introduce arbitrary template E. PPSX should run as slideshow Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 10(Build:2) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.1.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded
