I hope developers for OO 4 (or 3.5?) will overcome some of what smells to me like Microsoft sabotage of common format files edited in non-MS applications.
Many surely exist. I got ambushed so badly by this one that I broke down and bought MS Office: A vendor-provided .ppt file contained a "theme" for a blob of color on the slides. I edited the text in OO Impress. On recent Win and Mac machines, PowerPoint absolutely refuses to open the edited file because of missing material. "Repair" fails. Can Impress be tweaked to use themes? Or alternatively to leave the code alone or clean it up in re-edited files, so PowerPoint doesn't gag on them? Shouldn't any .ppt file contain everything any ppt player needs?
