Miklos is tackling this issue over at Bug 120028. Best to track it there.

Example compared MSO and 6.2 before and after fix in 120028.jpg

This bug started as "Add support PPTX files with multiple columns". That was done in 6.2+ as Bug 120028.
But this example attachment 114222 [details] looks different:
- bullet list is added
- center format is lost 
- font color is different.

So I'll reopen this bug. Normally we report those issues separately, but some may be fixed in other bugs, so let's keep it all here so far, at least until some change or fix is made.

Example of textbox with 3 columns PPTX

For another example with 3 columns, there's another issue of different size that results in different look.

Example compared again

As Luke noted, the look is somehow fixed now so WFM. 
What remains elsewhere is the issue with 3 columns.
