However, just as Writer is good for more than bashing out a memo, so Impress can do far more than produce a generic presentation. Over the years, Impress has steadily improved, until today it is a match in most ways for Microsoft Powerpoint. And that is, of course, its main purpose. But if there is, why the heck isn't it on by default?) This seems to be a problem with Impress in general (and they seem to be working on it), not the import filter.If asked, most users would say that the purpose of LibreOffice Impress is to create slide shows. While we're at it, look at how crappy the not-anti-aliased text looks.(This is the one place where I think that you're right about my original comparisons not being entirely fair.) If you right click on a slide and choose "format background" and set it to a solid color, it works (that's the point of the ugly red background), but if you use the "background styles" dropdown in the "design" ribbon, then it doesn't even if it looks like it's just setting it to a solid color.It should be grey and centered instead, it's black and left-justified.

The text formatting is wrong on my subtitle.The above problems do seem to be confined to the titles slides: other slide layouts don't have this problem.(Knowing that it's coming from the master slide means this makes some amount of sense.) The result is text overlayed with text. The above continues to hold if you leave the ephemeral "click to add title" and "click to add subtitle" text fields in place and fill them out.However, it does not show up in PowerPoint either in edit or presentation mode.) (In this case, that text box is present on the master slide. You can have a slide which, in PPT, appears to be completely blank (as in you can try to lasso the entire slide and select no object) and Impress may still insert a text box.So what have we learned? ( Note: most of the below was fixed between OpenOffice 3.2 and LibreOffice 4.0)

Other than that, all the other comparisons areĪnd now the full results (note that LibreOffice 4.0 renders all blank slides correctly, so I didn't bother putting up screenshots): Harder than I initially thought, as it gets the background right when (The background-styles variation showsĪ new problem - Impress doesn't honor that setting - but that's Here are links to the actual presentations:įor screenshots we'll start out with a pair of representativeĬomparisons so I can show slightly larger thumbnails: both of the ones Show that the "click to edit the master subtitle" field doesn'tĭisappear during presentations, so I did those from presentation mode,īut I didn't want to go back to PPT to redo those.) When it came time for OpenOffice, I wanted to (If you're curious this was justįor expediency I took the PPT screenshots first and it was way faster Presentation mode, but in both cases it wouldn't make a difference,Īll the slides look the same both ways in both programs since thereĪre none of those ephemeral fields.

These tests are much simpler than the ones from Master slides), so I guess that's good news.]
