<pre>Description:
After creating an Impress file presentation in LO 6.4.1.2 and saving it as a
.ppt file, Powerpoint 97-2003 format, on attempting to open it with MS Office
Powerpoint Viewer 2010 (14.0.7214.5000), it doesn't: I get message 'Office has
detected a problem with file. To help protect your computer this file cannot be
opened'.
My operating system: Windows 10 1909.
Note: no problem encountered after saving (same file) as .pptx (Powerpoint
2007-365 format); or opening and resaving it with LO 6.3.4.2
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create/update and then minimise Impress preentation. Save as ~.odp file.
2. Save as Powerpoint 97-2003 (.ppt) file.
3. Open ~.ppt file with Powerpoint Viewer 2010
Actual Results:
File did not open in Powerpoint Viewer, got error message 'Office has detected
a problem...'
Alternatively, have had a 'This filetype is unsupported' on attempting to open
with PPT Viewer other, similar files saved as ~.ppt in LO 6.4.1 (were
previously ~.odp)
Expected Results:
File should open and be viwable in Powerpoint Viewer.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
