pptx demonstrating word wrap and formatting issues on hyperlinks.

Problem description:
Hyperlinks in ppt/pptx files created in powerpoint 2007 do not word wrap within
the bounds of their object box; text is free to flow off the right side of the
screen. If word wrap does begin, blue color is lost on the next line (as 3rd
link shows). ppt file loses all text formatting leading to uncolored,
underlined text that is no longer a hyperlink.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a link long enough to need word wrap in powerpoint2007.
2. Save as pptx or ppt
3. Open in libreoffice and notice the loss of word wrap and underline in pptx
and additionally loss of blue color and lack of actually being a hyperlink in
ppt.

Current behavior:
pptx opens without correct word wrap interrupting hyperlinks. if an
interruption occurs, color is lost. I assume minor differences in wrapping may
be font differences but maybe fonts are larger/thicker than in Powerpoint 2007.
LibO3.3, OOo3.3 loses wordwrap, underline and color on FreeBSD.
ppt loses all formatting making it not be a hyperlink, underlined, colored, but
begins to wordwrap (though not identically to MS powerpoint 2007). LibO3.3 and
OOo3.3 loses wordwrap and underline but keeps color and is still a hyperlink on
FreeBSD.

Expected behavior:
Text comes through as a normal blue underlined hyperlink with a word wrap that
does not go outside the box, preferably with the same breaks as is seen in MS
Powerpoint 2007 (as to minimize needing to review and reedit a presentation as
it gets passed from program to program prior to each presentation).
