This is what I see in AOO 4.1 when editing the presentation (notice the background, from the AOO template) http://www.imagebam.com/image/bfb67b330098558 This is what the slide looks like in AOO Impress, when played back http://www.imagebam.com/image/00ca69330098560 And this is what I see when I export to PPT and load the presentation in the MS Powerpoint Viewer 2007 http://www.imagebam.com/image/f9fb05330098563 Any ideas of what might be going on? Can someone confirm? I just used one of the built-in templates in AOO 4.1 to start my presentation.... I expected the exported PPT to look exactly the same as in AOO...
i checked that template. it seems to be the 'blue border' background chosen on the 2nd step of the presentation wizard. it is not autofitted at all, but rather tiled (see format -> page -> background). because its size is exactly the same as the default slide size (which is 28 x 21 cm), it fills the entire screen. however, when exporting to powerpoint, everything is messed up because powerpoint's size handling is somewhat flawed. eg, when i create a rectangle in powerpoint and set its width to, say, 10 cm, it appears to be about 9 cm according to the ruler at the top of the slide (at least in powerpoint 2000 installed on my organisation's computers). if after that i set the page width to 10 cm too, the rectangle does not take the full width of the page, just like your slide's background. so, powerpoint seems to use different units for page sizes and object sizes: the centimeters of page width are larger than those of a rectangle width. it is quite idiosyncratic, but you have to stay with it. i do not think that openoffice should adopt this unnatural measuring convention only to be compatible with powerpoint, although some size adjustment while exporting may be of use. in your case, try unticking the 'format -> page -> background -> tile' box and ticking the 'format -> page -> background -> autofit'. ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
