Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-06-14 05:25:50 UTC 
Steps how to reproduce with LibreOffice 3.5.4.2  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 165a79a-7059095-e13bb37-fef39a4-9503d18] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit):

1. download sample document 
   <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=77775>
   from AOOo bug
2. Save as .ppt under new name
3. Close
4. open with LibO or PPT Viewer
   Expected: Vertical letters [1]
   Actual: Horizontal letters (See screenshots at AOOo-BZ for details!)

Description at AOOo is wrong, its a FILESAVE bug

Save as .odp works fine
Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-06-14 05:31:09 UTC 
NEW and OS=All due to AOOo issue

Very old bug, already in OOo 3.2 and LibO 3.3.3, inherited from OOo!

Dataloss Problem, so MAJOR

Confirmed in Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: da8c1e6) in Mac OS X 10.7.5
I can also say that saving in ODP solves this problem and fixes many pains, so don't use PPT and help stop spread disease ;-)

I can not reproduce this anymore using Linux Mint 15 x64 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 467d5e0a2e074ff2afb4d1b1a37cff2094b0895

Cherry-picked: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=95136e701c5f631307d1b72ad8adf6b3df9090fe so it'll be included in LibreOffice 4.1.0 as well.
