https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/695898

OOo bug:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=116269

WORKAROUND: Export PPT file to PDF to view slide show in acroread or
evince, export PPT to PDF and open via Draw using PDF Import extension,
or open PPT file in MS Power Point Viewer 2007 via WINE to view
slideshow.

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Installed: 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen is when one creates the below mentioned
presentation in MS PowerPoint 2007 and saves in .ppt format, opens up
attached example.ppt file in Impress, then runs the Slide Show, it looks
the same as it does in Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2007 via WINE.

4) What happened instead via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/695898/+attachment/1780067/+files/example.ppt.bz2
&& file-roller -h example.ppt.bz2 && loimpress -nologo example.ppt

is that some font sizes are larger in Impress (slide 6) than in MSPP.

  is that some font sizes are larger in Impress (slide 6) than in MSPP.
  I do not have access to MSPP, nor does my friend who gave me the
  presentation (recently migrated to Ubuntu).

  slide show in acroread or evince or open PPT file in MS Power Point
  Viewer 2007 via WINE to view slideshow.
