** Description changed:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
- I have a PowerPoint presentation that includes lots of gradients into
- transparency. Having imported it into OpenOffice.org Impress on numerous
- occasions, specifically to see if OpenOffice.org could handle it, all
- the gradients are rendered as gradients into white rather than
- transparency.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description: Ubuntu 11.04
+ Release: 11.04
- I have since discovered that Impress does, in fact, have the facility to
- create gradients into transparency, but they are considered different
- from any other gradient for some reason beyond my understanding.
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
+ libreoffice-impress:
+ Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
+ Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
+ Version table:
+ *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0
+ 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386
Packages
+ 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+ 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0
+ 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
- The bug, therefore, is that gradients to transparency in PowerPoint
- presentations are not correctly imported to use OpenOffice's way of
- having gradients into transparency. I am not sure if the reverse is true
- (gradients into transparency in OpenOffice are not exported as such in
- PowerPoint presentations).
+ 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:
+
+ cd ~/Desktop && wget
+
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/159325/+attachment/226965/+files/Presentation%2003.ppt
+ && loimpress -nologo Presentation\ 03.ppt
+
+ the slides with gradient into transparency looks as it does in
+ PowerPoint 2003 (
+
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/159325/+attachment/2144737/+files/Screenshot.png
+ ).
+
+ 4) What happens instead is it looks like two rectangles, one stacked
+ onto the other. The top rectangle has a vertical color gradient, dark to
+ light going top to bottom. The bottom rectangle is just one solid color.
+ The .ppt was created in PowerPoint XP.
