Problem description: If you format a character to have an 'overline' and you save the presentation as PPT, when you reopen the file, the character will no longer have the overline. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a presentation file and save it as PPT. 2. Add a text and format a character to have an overline. 3. Save and close the presentation. 4. Reopen the file. 5. Check that the character have lost the overline. Current behavior: Character loses the overline format when presentation is saved with PPT. Expected behavior: Character keeps the overline format when presentation is saved with PPT. Platform (if different from the browser): Windows 7 - 64bits Browser: IE 9
I have lost a lot of work due to this problem. Now I have to review all my presentation and remember where I've put the overline format.
Please attach an example file, also this doesn't qualify as a CRITICAL bug, I'm going to make it the appropriate importance. This does not mean it'll be ignored ;) just trying to make things more accurate

Created attachment 80172 [details] Example file to demostrate the bug Open the attached PPT file. Select the "XXXXX" text and right-click on it. Select the "Character..." contextual menu.

The file attached can be used to demonstrate the bug. Try to set the overline format to the "XXXXX" text, save the file and re-open it. Check that the format will be lost.
reproducible on LO 4.0.4.1 (Win7 32bit) Tried several Overlining (single, double, bold, dotted) with automatic/black colored, that format will be lost after saving & reopening.
I know i'm the one who downed the priority but - this is a loss of data one so clearly a Major bug, apologies for the noise
I reproduce the problem with LibreOffice 4.3.3 and 4.4.0 beta2 on Debian. Is overlining formatting possible in MS Office file format? I do not see any simple way to make overlinig in MS Office 2010. Googling gives 2 advices: use equations or use [alt] + 773.

The same also happens when saving as PPTX. Is this a limitation in PPT (or even present-day PPTX)? It is hard to find out this type of historical information. When looking at search results limited to max. 2007, I see people getting advice to use the equation editor in MSO to achieve an overline.

This looks similar to tdf#56080 -- both are asking to do something which is not natively supported by destination format. When one saves into non-native format LO shows a message: "This document may contain formatting or content that cannot be saved in the currently selected file format <...>". So... if this warning is ignored... then... whose fault is that? I don't think this is "major, because of the data loss", unless it fails to save overlines in The Good Format. It looks more like "Enhancement". Possible implementation could add one line with proper style in the right position per line of text and probably group it. However, that will not work well on opening the file unless LO is allowed to store some "vendor extension" to read it back. Let me stop here before it started to sound as "WONTFIX"... ;)
it doesn't look like a high/major issue
