            Bug ID: 121832
           Summary: editing PPT in Impress changes title field labels so
                    titles are not shown in outline views
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: joseph.price at okstate.edu

sample files

Version: 6.1.3.2  Build ID: 1:6.1.3-1 on Debian testing
Microsoft Powerpoint 2016 MSO (16.0.4266.1001) 64bit in VM
VM :   Oracle virtualbox, Version 5.2.14(qT5.11.2) 2018

Take a powerpoint document (e.g. *.ppt or *.pptx) that has several slides, each
of which shows a title.

Open in Impress.

Edit In Impress the text in the file in any minor way, and save the file still
as *.ppt .

When the file is reopened  within Windows Mspowerpoint, the Title objects will
have been renamed, and the Outline view no longer shows any Titles, although
there is still a text box object containing the text of the title on the
slides. 

They still exist and are seen in the slide view, but any global actions on
"Titles" such as formatting those objects or including them in the Outline view
does not show them.

If I reopen this modified file in Impress, is does not show titles in the
Outline view either.

Screen shots are available.

I have been told that opening PPT files on some tablets or phones does
something similar, but I cannot verify that.


This a major nuisance and major hurdle to collaborations with file exchanges.
