Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67705
Allow draw attributes for OLE (line, fill, shadow, ...) [Was: I can't assign an areafilling or lines to an OLE-object-]

Open the attached sample file imported from MS PowerPoint. The formula object originally had a white background, which is not displayed in OO.o Impress.

Reassigned.
I checked with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]"; no real difference is visible to the view with Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 97. I also doubt that really someone would have wanted to have some white backgorund - I believe that the Background should have to be transparent. I can not find any Backgrond property in MS Formula editor. If I copy / paste formula from MS Formula editor to OOo 2.0 text document, the background of the formula is transparent. But of course, OOo 2. should show the document as it looks in PowerPoint, I can not check PP view because I do not have PP on my PC. This issue might be related to Issue 51868: on my PC WORD2000 installer starts when I try to open 'testequ.ppt' with OOo 2.0.2 @farzanehs: I doubt that that's a special PRESENTATION issue - is there any chance to get a WORD document with that formula object in it?

I can't assign a background color to a microsoft Equation. Therefore the background color is transparent. But nevertheless there is another Feature we should impelment. I can't assign a area filling or a linestyle to an OLE-object. Therefore OLE-objects with area fillings and/or lines looks different after PPT-import. I change the Issue title and write an aditional description and send the issue to the corresponding developer.
- Start an Impress or Draw - insert an OLE-object (e.g. a math object) - click on the area icon and assign an areafilling - the background of the OLE-objetc doesn't change to the assigned area filling.
rainerbielefeld: You are right. I had created the file with MS ppt, then manipulated it with OO.o impress. That's why your both screenshots look identical. I am now attaching the file again and a screenshot of the file with MS powerpoint.

AW: OLEs do not support line style, fill style, shadow and other attributes. It was never intended to do so. On the other hand we are already thinking about adding this for SW to use DrawingLayer picture and OLE objects (ATH SW uses it's own implementations). AW: Since it works as designed, it's not a defect. I set this to enchancement and change the title accordingly.
*** Issue 37251 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
AW: Target moved, no way to change SW so quickly
*** Issue 51209 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
AW: Created #i108221# as preparation for this task.
AW: Unfortunately there is no safe way currently to detect old file versions, thus i will take back all my actions executed, set milestone and wait for ODF1.2 final.
ALG: Checked that the change to set XFILL_NONE and XLINE_NONE for OLE attributes is in OOo3.3 release. This allows to add a check if < 3.3 release to correct at load time.
Armin Le Grand addressed this on issue 118485 It should have been fixed now as part of SVN revision 1182166. Thanks!
ALG: Done for AOO 3.4
