illustration of loss of Master format if saving in .pptx

I open a pptx and use "save as" pptx so that my clients can use the file in their current pptx corporate format. I applied the Master slide format and layout to my additional slides and saved as pptx. When i re-open the file, text is still there but the Master slide + selected layout is no longer applied...the text is in separate text boxes, so even if Master is re-applied, i have to recopy and repaste everything into the Master format again. Arg!
Problem still occurs if I edit/save in .odp and then re-save in pptx.
This problem doesn't occur if i save it in .odp and re-open in .odp format.

If i save as .ppt instead of .pptx, text remains in the Master layout and font, but the font size modifications are lost. So the bug is sligthly different in its nature when saved as .ppt

Loraine - a couple points here:

please stop reporting the same bug multiple times, this is the third bug that I've found from you that's essentially identical.

Also, please DO NOT nominate your own bug to MAB - there are rules about MAB nomination and this is in clear violation. These include a) the bug must be confirmed by an independent member of our QA team b) the bug must be determined to affect a large number of users by an independent member of the QA team c) all information that the QA team can gather must be done prior to nomination.

I am marking your other bug as a duplicate of this bug.
