Confirmed on LO 4.2.4.2 - Ubuntu 12.04. Happen with PPT & PPTX, not happen with ODP.
Comment 2 ign_christian 2014-06-15 14:17:22 UTC
Reproduced with LO 4.0.6.2 and AOO 4.1.0, all with Win7 32bit.

Looks like inherited from OOO.
Comment 3 Yogesh Bharate 2015-05-08 08:56:17 UTC
As there is functionality in powerpoint to show the "slide number".
But there is no such function or feature in related to field "page count".
So, mapping of this feature with powerpoint i.e pptx is not good idea.

Therefore, this issue required more info to understand.

In fact, none of the text fields, except for (to some extent) URL field gets exported. No info needed, this is pretty much confirmed
Comment 5 Cor Nouws 2015-12-11 13:28:55 UTC
some distant relation to commit c7b2d473e32af9b2dad4f294105505084ee0a1f6 ?

Have installed LO 5.2.4 in Win8 but couldn't start it. The start up screen was hanging for more than 5 min before I killed it.
