1. File - New - Presentation 2. Click on "Click to add text" 3. Insert - Object - OLE Object... - Object type=OpenOffice 4.0.0 Formula - OK 4. Type vec F = m times vec a 5. Highlight equation and Format - Font Size... - Base size=24pt - OK 6. Click on slide Equation is not centered horizontally but deviates to the right. AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1525015 2013-09-24_04:09:45 - Rev. 1525769 4.0.1 RC3 testing
Updating fields.
Description is valid also for: AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:54 - Linux x86_64
Confirmed on another PC. Rev. 1524958 Debian
The effect is more or less Reproducible with "AOO 4.0.1 RC3 – German UI / German locale [ Rev. 1524958 2013-09-20 11:40:29]" on German German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", Common 4.0-dev User Profile My steps: 1. open attached sample document Slide with some measure lines appears 2. Menu 'Insert -> Object -> Formula' Formula input appears 3. In formula input area type a simple dot 4. Click into the sheet Formula center is x/y 13,16 / 10,22 cm (too far to the left, too far to top) you see my result in sheet 2 5. Additionally insert a Chart object Will be inserted, center position is x / y 14 / 10,5 Exactly centered to sheet size 28x21cm You see my result in Sheet 3 6. Additionally insert a Text document objecr Will be inserted, center position is x / y 14 / 10,5 Exactly centered to sheet size 28x21cm You see my result in Sheet 4 So indeed the Formula is not in center, different to other objects. Additional info a) My observations are also reproducible with DRAW b) When I try reporter's steps I see the formula center at x / y 14,79 / 10,53 c) repeating reporter's test with text size 6: x / y of center is 13,58cm/ 10,38 d) c) repeating reporter's test with text size 40: x / y of center is 15,86cm / 10,84 e) so I can confirm reporter's observations with some more details: formulas with small characters will be inserted too far top / left, with increasing text size insertion moves to too far right bottom. f) I will do tests concerning appearance (version) later g) Draw might be more appropriate, we can decide later

Already reproducible with OOo 3.1.1 under WIN, position values are a little different, but character size relation is the same
Well, already in OOo 1.1.5 I think it's not too serious, when you have added alignment icons to a toolbar that can be corrected easily, but of course that's not convenient
