  3) What is expected to happen is when one creates the attached
  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 && soffice -impress -nologo
- example.ppt
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/695898/+attachment/2656056/+files/slide6.ppt
  
- 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).
+ is that some font sizes are larger in Impress than in MSPP.
  
  WORKAROUND: 1. Export PPT file from MS Power Point to PDF to view slide
  show in acroread or evince or open PPT file in MS Power Point Viewer
  2007 via WINE to view slideshow.
