            Bug ID: 142570
           Summary: Saving ODP to PPT trashes character formats, saving to
                    PPTX trashes pics
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nick.theboatman at gmx.com

Description:
1. When saving an ODP file in Powerpoint (PPT) format, the export function
removes character formatting, specifically "outlines". These are not lost in
the ODP file. So working with a PPT file looses the formatting each time a save
is done but working with ODP is ok. This is repeatable when saving to PPS.

2. When saving an ODP file in Powerpoint (PPTX) format, slide backdrop photos
are  lost and an arbitrary theme is loaded instead. The character formatting
remains damaged. This is repeatable when saving to PPSX. In addition when
saving as PPSX the slideshow function does not operate.

In both cases in business situations (relying on text outlines and backdrop
images with a slideshow) where the recipient of the presentation can only
handle MS Powerpoint and cannot work with Libreoffice this renders Libreoffice
useless 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new presentation (no template). Save as ODP
2. Place a big photo as slide backdrop (slide/set background image
3. Place some text (big - 32 pt is good); select text, activate "outline"
4. Save file again (in ODP)
5. Save as, select PPT format.
6. Close LibreOffice
7. Repeat step 5 and 6, saving in PPS, PPTX and PPSX
8. Open LibreOffice on PPS; note results
9.  Close LibreOffice
10. Repeat steps 9 and 9, on PPS, PPTX and PPSX respectively

Actual Results:
PPT and PPS lose text outlines, retaining only the text colour (as solid
colour).
PPTX loses backdrop photos, loses text outlines, retaining only the text colour
(as solid colour).
PPSX does not run as a slideshow, loses backdrop photos, loses text outlines,
retaining only the text colour (as solid colour).

Expected Results:
A. All file format versions should be seamlessly interchangable
B. All file versions should retain text formatting
C. PPTX and PPSX should not lose backdrop photos
D. PPTX and PPSX should not introduce arbitrary template
E. PPSX should run as slideshow


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
