When exporting ODP from Impress to the Microsoft PowerPoint format PPT, both the title and the description (text alternatives for accessibility) on images is lost. Steps to reproduced the issue: 1. Create a new presentation in Impress. 2. Add an image and give it only a title (right-click, choose "Description" from the context menu and fill in "Title"). 3. Add an image and give it only a description (right-click, choose "Description" and fill in "Description"). 4. Add an image and give it both a title and a description (right-click, choose "Description" and fill in both fields in the dialog window). 5. Save the file as "Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP/2003 (.ppt)". 6. Open the PPT file in Microsoft PowerPoint, right-click on each image, choose "Format picture", then "Alt text": both the Title field and the Description field are empty. Note: you can give images a name (so they become visible in the Navigator), but this does not make a difference. Desired behaviour: When exporting to PPT, ODF's title and description should be mapped to PowerPoint's title and description. For a test file, see the one attached to bug 43547.
Version info was previously LibO 3.4.3. I confirm that this bug is still present in LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC1. Changing status from UNCONFIRMED to NEW.
Is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ Please also try resetting your user profile and let us know if that helps: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile Should this be still reproducible for you with the latest LO release please set this bug back to UNCONFIRMED(NEW since uncinformed is not available). Should this issue be solved set it to WORKSFORME. Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided. If you re-open this, do not forget to attach a test file for easier testing.
Sorry, just found the test file. I was irritated because your steps start with "create new presentation" while it should have been "open test file". Can confirm that after saving as PPT file the navigator no longer shows what it shows when opening odp test file. So NEW and Platform is All since i just confirmed this on OSX 10.9.4, LO 4.3.1.

I retested this in LibreOffice Impress 6.1.2.1 on Manjaro Linux; the issue is still present when exporting to PPTX (but now when exporting to the older PPT format). Both Title and Description are empty after exporting to PPTX ("PowerPoint 2007-2019"). The only difference in the process is that you need to select 'Description' from the Format menu in order to access the Title and Description, instead of using the context menu.
My previous comment should just have said that the issue no longer exists for the PPT format (at least when I reopen the PPT in LibreOffice Impress). PPTX output is covered in a different bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43547.

I think you have it backwards. Name/Description (but not title) are retained for PPTX, but all are lost with PPT. tested with LO 7.0
PPT is tested with MSO and bug is still here.
Reproduced in LO 7.3 alpha0. You don't need MS Office to test this: 1. Open Impress 2. Insert an image 3. Fill in the "Title" and "Description" fields for the image 4. Save as > PPT 5. Close and reopen Observed: both fields are empty.
