Created attachment 120166 [details] Original ODP, text box on first slide has motion path animation. Hello, When I add a motion path animation to an object in Impress and save it as Powerpoint 2007-2013 XML .pptx format, Powerpoint 2010 (Win)/2011 (Mac)/2013 (Win) complains that the file is corrupted and fails to repair it. This is a show stopper/major blocker for me, hope it gets fixed!!
Created attachment 120167 [details] Original ODP saved as PPTX, PowerPoint 2010/2011/2013 say the PPTX is corrupted.
I tried saving the PPTX file in Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux versions of LibreOffice, in all cases all PowerPoint versions I tried say the PPTX is corrupted... :(
I also tested this in Impress 5.0.x, same problems.
So how do things fare if instead of .pptx your pass MS Office the .odp? Its MS's mess, let them deal with importing--rather than exporting to OOXML. (Yes I know sometime you have to prepare .pptx/.ppt to exchange, but how often is that really necessary--especially now that MS has fairly complete support of ODF 1.2 formats?)
Ok for what it is worth, the ODF attachment 120166 [details] .odp opens and the text path renders correctly in MS Office 2007 SP3 Powerpoint. Saved from MS Office 2007 to OOXML the OOXML .pptx opens and closes with no further complaint.

Thanks for your quick reply. The .odp opens messed up in so many ways (not just the motion path) in Microsoft Office (2013 and below) it just doesn't work at all. Actually, I have to export to .pptx almost every day for Microsoft PowerPoint (most commonly 2010 on Windows, but also 2008/2011 on Mac OS X, and 2013 on Windows), and as I noted above, ODF support in Office is still a mess at least for .odp. In addition, the Mac versions of PowerPoint can't read .odp files. So this bug is pretty major for me. And since interoperability with Microsoft Office is touted as a big feature of LibreOffice, I think it is still critical to make sure exporting to .pptx (and .docx and .xlsx for that matter) works without a hitch. Yes I realise Microsoft's own implementation of .pptx changes between every version of PowerPoint, but the point stays the same. Glad to hear that PowerPoint 2007 opens the .odp and renders the path. But does everything look exactly the same as in Impress?

Only visual glitch is the color of the text box object--black instead of white, easily adjusted. But that is just for this simple two slide test file. Understand there could be a lot of thrash between ODF and OOXML on a real world presentation. Still beleive the better choice is to work in ODF and avoid "features" that don't translate between the two--either ODF to MS Office or OOXML to LibreOffice. And as with Writer--for high fidelity "exchange" send PDF or XPS print output. But setting NEW as it is a valid issue with OOXML export filters.

Regarding to the "only" visual glitch, like you suggested there are many many more problems when opening ODP in PowerPoint, and exporting to PPTX also has many problems. The truth is real world demands very often require users export to PPTX (and DOCX and XLSX) for various reasons, and getting the interoperability to work is so important for adoption of LibreOffice. For high fidelity, *using PDF is wholly insufficient* simply because so many things (such as motion paths, transitions, etc.) are not saved as PDF, and PDFs are generally not editable. Hope someone fixes these problems soon! And thanks to all the developers for bringing LibreOffice this far.
