Created attachment 80744 [details] The complete presentation, which exhibits the problem Problem description: A presentation created in .odp format, when saved as .pptx, loses all the formatting and animation. More specifically, the slides appear to be in Default format (as seen by pressing F11), rather than in the hierarchical Outline-n of the original. The fault was also seen in LibreOffice 3.6.2 as bundled with Ubuntu 12.10. I today ensured that my Ubuntu was up-to-date and installed LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 from https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-4-0 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Museums.odp (attached) 2. Run slide show, and observe animation (lots of flyins, etc) 3. Save as .pptx 4. Open the .pptx and run the slide show Current behavior: The formatting is lost and the animations screwed up Expected behavior: The slide show should have appeared the same I suspect the cause is something in my Ubuntu setup, but I have seen reports of simlar things in http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/6348/distorted-impress-pages-when-saved-as-pptx/, and I have also had problems creating a .docx from a .odt. If you cannot reproduce the problem, I can supply the .pptx that my system produced (it does not seem possible to add two attachents to this bug report). Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.3.3 release
Created attachment 80785 [details] The file as saved in .pptx
I unzipped the .pptx today, and examined the various .xml components (though I am no expert in these). My suspicions lie in the two slideMaster files, which do not contain any txStyle elements, nor can I find any such elements in any of the other files. So if it has no text style information anywhere, it is hardly surprising that it fails to layout any text correctly. I have now attached the complete .pptx file for you to look at.
Thank you for your bug report, I can reproduce this bug running LibreOffice Version: 4.1.0.1 Build ID: 1b3956717a60d6ac35b133d7b0a0f5eb55e9155 on Mac osx 10.8.4. The .pttx looks very screwed up yes.

Comment on attachment 85772 [details] created with Impress in pptx format Reporting this on behalf of my wife. She created an Impress file using Libreoffice 4.0.0.3 under Windows Vista. The file was created from the beginning as a pptx file. During 2 weeks work, the file was open all the time (bad practice, I know), and saved routinely. Dropbox reports about 36 saved versions. Two days ago, suddenly the file became severely corrupted. Several embedded images and a video disappeared; text formatting completely scrambled. All my best efforts to recover the file have failed. I've tried going back to earlier versions, updating LO to 4.1, uploading the pptx to Google Docs, etc. etc. Nothing helps. :-( The problem file is attached.
after looking at your test files I think that you stumbled upond 2 LibO bugs about .pptx Bug 71961 - FILESAVE: text doesn't fit into text boxes after saving as .PPTX Bug 73627 - FILESAVE: incorrect text font size after saving from .ODP to .PPTX I mark this report as a DUPLICATE of the first one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 71961 ***
