Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 46990
native ppt file poorly presented
Last modified: 2008-05-17 22:57:51 UTC
I opened a PPT file in OOo 2 Beta, SO7, SO8, and MS Office 97. Only the MSO97 diplayed the file in an acceptable manner. All OOo based products only played the music for a few bars then stopped. MSO97 played throught the presentation. Futher, the MSO97 was smooth in all phases of the slideshow and even allowed clicking for the next slide while a slide was being displayed with instaneous response. All of the OOo based were jerky, slow to display and respond. I do not know the origin of the PPT file as it was an attachment (2888 MB) from a friend who had received it from others in a chain or forwards. It may make a good test case to use. Send me instructions to forward it to you if you would like it.
Created attachment 24820 [details] PPS file saved by SO8 runs great with MSO97
When I opened the PPS file from the email attachment, SO8 Beta grabbed it (as expected) and I saved it from the SO8 Beta session. Then I opened it using MSO97 which gave a fantastic display, complete with music the whole time. Then I opened it with SO7 which gave a very jerky presentation. Finally, I used OOo build 79 which I first used today. I hoped the OOo 2 Beta would do justice to the presentation, but I was sorely disappointed.
Reassigned.
Please tell me with which PPT version this document was created. I Think it was not PPT97 because there are some customanimation when I start this presentation with PPT2003.
In this documents are 2 issues. 1) the sound is playing on the first slide only. -> This is a not implemented feature and not a bug. 2) The bitmap fillings in the ellipse are cropt wrong. -> this is a bug which is fixed in the meantime (m91). I change the issue type to Feature.
Change owner to requirements.
We need the feature to play a sound over the whole presentation and not only for 1 slide.
