Description magrawal 2003-09-11 15:14:53 UTC
In Impress, when you create subheadings, the font sizes do not change by 
default. This makes it difficult to visually represent sub-titles. In the 
attached file for example, all the sub-headings are the same font size by 
default - 24. It would have been helpful if font sizes progressively reduced by 
default as 24 - 22 - 20 - 18 ... till some minimum. Occasionally, bold and 
italics could be used to distinguish between levels.


Users can certainly change sizes according to their personal preference. But I 
believe that most users expect sub-headings to have a smaller font size than its 
corresponding heading.

You used a hard formatting with the object bar, not a soft formatting
with the stylist, did'nt you? Please hit F11 to call up the stylist.
Use a rigth click on the outline 1-9 styles and you will see that the
font size is reduced for the first 4 sizes of headings. You can change
the size of each heading to fit your wishes.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Closed.
Comment 4 magrawal 2003-09-11 16:02:11 UTC
Actually no, I did not use hard formatting. I created this 
presentation by importing a powerpoint presentation (the one offered 
by the publisher - Wiley). I now understand the problem. In the 
original powerpoint presentation, outline 1 styles are in size 24 but 
in OO, outline 1 is 32, outline 2 is 28 and so on. Therefore, since 
the fonts were already smaller than the specified font sizes in OO, OO 
did not change fonts.


I guess this becomes an issue with Powerpoint import, rather than 
Impress itself. But it is an issue nevertheless, IMHO.

Comment 9 magrawal 2003-09-15 17:55:39 UTC
I have attached 2 files: the original powerpoint file and a converted 
Impress file (using OO RC3). I have used slide 6 to show my problem in 
Impress.


Interestingly, though outlines 4, 5 and 6 have sizes defined as 20, 
when I created the example paragraphs on slide 6 (marked in red), 
these paragraphs did not come in font size 20. They are all getting a 
default font size of 24.
Comment 10 christian.guenther 2003-10-21 09:19:14 UTC
Sorry for the long delay.
Could you please attach the original PPT-file of the 'Test of
outline1, test of outline2, ...' file?
Comment 11 magrawal 2003-10-21 14:20:14 UTC
It is the CH03.ppt file which is already attached to this issue. The 
specific slide where I showed the Test of outline ... in Impress is 
based on slide 6 in the ppt file. The size.sxi slide is based on slide 
26 in the ppt file. Hope this is the information you were looking for.
Comment 12 christian.guenther 2003-10-27 12:47:18 UTC
set to new and change the target
Comment 13 christian.guenther 2003-10-27 12:53:00 UTC
I can reproduce the bug with the attached document ch03.ppt.
- load the file with PPT
- change to slide 6
- set the cursor on the first pos of the first paragraph
- press the Tab key to indent the paragraph
- the text size shrinks (24,20,18,16)

- do the same in OOo1.1 (also with ch03.ppt)
- the text size is allways 24
Comment 14 sven.jacobi 2004-01-29 14:04:04 UTC
SJ->CGU: That the font size is shrinking if you are pressing multiple tabs is
not a bug it is a feature called "Fit text to fit placeholder size". And because
this Issue is a new feature and not a PPT specific filter problem this issue
should be discussed by the user experience team and the project owner. 
Comment 15 christian.guenther 2004-02-02 13:56:44 UTC
You are right.
I deselected the feature in PPT and saved the file again.
Now the text resize after pressing the Tab key.
I change the issue type to feature and send the issue to the user experience team.
Comment 16 christian.guenther 2004-02-02 14:04:44 UTC
This is not a bug but a feature.
Please have a look.
