Hi icerabbit,

You hadnt attached the pptx file.
Comment 2 icerabbit 2014-06-23 23:12:35 UTC
I see now. The report went through, it uploads for a minute or so, but then errors that  the file is too big. 

The file is directly available online here:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fftp3.syscom.mx%2Fusuarios%2Ffcarrillo%2FMaterial%2520Grafico%2Fintroduction%2520of%2520hikvision%2520ivms-5200.pptx&ei=H7OoU4KgCfTNsASt6YGoBQ&usg=AFQjCNEeYVgEhWFWGt-EITvDR5dN3s98zQ&sig2=tS8IgCVnJ6PdMeascKpfZA


With apologies for the messy google URL is giving me. It comes up as the first result in google search with "hikvision ivms introduction pptx" should that obscure link not work.

Hi icerabbit,

I tested < http://ftp3.syscom.mx/usuarios/fcarrillo/Material%20Grafico/introduction%20of%20hikvision%20ivms-5200.pptx > on Linux Mint with 4.1.6, 4.2.5 and 4.3rc1 and on Windows 7 with 4.1.6 and 4.2.4 and the file opened successfully. I'm assuming this maybe a OSX only issue, so can you let us know which version of Mac OS X your running.

WORKSFORME 10.9.3 LO 4.3RC1

Happy to report as well, that it works for me too in LO 4.3RC1

No worries, Apple won't do a thing... Ok, glad this is working for you as well. It's always worth testing the latest version, since not seldom, issues have already been fixed.
Comment 7 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-24 16:50:29 UTC
Does it crash in 4.2.5 for you Foss, as we would need to look into fixing it for the 4.2.6 release.
Comment 8 retired 2014-06-24 21:05:17 UTC
icerabbit, would you be willing to test 4.2.5?

Comment 9 icerabbit 2014-06-25 20:12:13 UTC
Removed LO 4.3 RC1. Installed LO 4.2.5 Fresh.

File opens fine.

Good thing it somehow was already fixed for 4.2.5, due to some earlier report or known issue, I guess.

Thank you, everyone, for your prompt assistance!

And thank you for testing. Closing.
Comment 11 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-27 09:02:45 UTC
First, there are two Asian fontfaces in the document that are not in my OSX system. I know this because I opened the file in Keynote and it is kind enough to tell me so. It even says it will replace them by TimesRoman (nice UI advantage over LO there ;-) )
Comment 12 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-27 09:38:02 UTC
Damn, should've read through to the end beforehand :-) WFM too
