[Issue] Import from PowerPoint: textboxes are not textboxes!
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:37 am
When imporing textboxes from PP, textboxes are not textboxes. I attached 3 slides:
1. A PowerPoint slide consisting of three textboxes: The first and second were "created" by selecting the pre-configured title-and-two-columns-of-text slide layout. The third textbox has been "created" by "insert -> textbox". All textboxes have the font type Arial. 2. The same file, opened in Impress and having been saved in OpenOffice Impress format. Having been imported and saved in Impress format you will notice that the font style ist still Arial. However, you will notice two incorrect behavious:
(A) Problem one: the third textbox has turquoise "corners" and you cannot grab and move the textbox with the mourse. But: you can move it using the navigation buttons and you can edit the text. This problem only affects the third textbox that has additionally been added in PP.
(B) Problem two: if you save the file in Impress format and reopen it, you will notice that the font type of the third textbox has additionally changed to Times New Roman (with Problem A remaining). 3. A third file for comparison: this file has been created from scratch in Impress. As you will notice that even after closing and reopening textbox three has green "corners" as the other two textboxes and the font type correctly remains Arial. We cou replicate the problem on all our team's PCs with OO installed (in all cases: Version/Plattform: OO 3.0.0, OOO300m9, Build:9358 on Windows XP Professinal.)
Does anyone has an idea why this problem occurs and how it can be solved (or should I post it as an issue)?
