Created attachment 104530 [details] PPT version Text is shifted when the file format is PPT. I opened the file in Microsoft Office and removed everything except the one text field. I saved it in both pptx and ppt formats. LibreOffice shows the pptx correctly, but when opened from the ppt file, the text is shifted down. Strangely, the preview thumbnail in Nautilus shows both the same. I will include both versions of the file and a screenshot from PowerPoint. Note that there were two blanks lines ahead of the visible text, but I put numbers in there to make it more clear. I tested it with LibreOffice 4.3.1.1 as well and it was the same there.

Using the MS-Office screenshot as a baseline, the PPTX does appear to be more faithful to the original than the PPT. Interestingly, if you click on the header box in the PPT (e.g. so that you could edit it), it moves up to the expected position. Unfortunately, the header moves back down after you exit from the box. Status -> NEW

It has been a really long time since I've looked at this so I don't remember exactly what the issue was. However, since both the PPT and PPTX loaded in a current libreoffice match each other and the screen shot, I'll consider this fixed.
Thanks. We call it WorksForMe if commit is not known.
