Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82176
export to ppt looses animations
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:20:06 UTC
I have found 125 isses for impress export but not htis one : all object animations disappear when exporting( see attached file) Using OO 2.3 and exporting to ppt 2000 (and using Powerpoint 2000 to open it, different version with service packs or not). When the ppt file is reopened with OO Impress, all animations are OK, when it is opened with Powerpoint, they disappear. Even checking the different objects separately, they have no animation. This renders Impress useless for me, as there is no standalone viewer and 100% of all presenations I have to give (seminars, lectures, workshops etc) are using Powerpoint to run the files.

Using Powerpoint 2003 I have no problem with this. The animations are exported to ppt.
But the export in OO 2.3 is called "Microsoft Powerpoint 97/2000/XP" and not "Microsoft Powerpoint 2003", so this should also work with Powerpoint 2000, which is, at least as far as I have seen so fat, still the major version used. Perhaps somebody else can verify this on his Powerpoint 2000 ? Thanks
Reassigned. @sj: please decide if this can/should work in Powerpoint 2000. Thanks.
Confirming with PPT2000 (build 9.0.2716) - animations are not played. If I resave your .ppt using PPT2003 then in PPT2000 animations are not played either. PPT2003 plays animations in both the original file and resaved ( which I will attach in a minute).
