--- Comment #4 from Stefan Papusoi <st...@gmail.com> ---
I successfully reproduced the bug using the stable version available on the
download web page: Apache Open Office 4.1.1, AOO411m6(Build:9775)  -  Rev.
1617669 on a Windows 7 x64 OS
After that I took the latest nightly build available at this time - version
Apache Open Office 4.2.0 , AOO420m1(Build:9800)  -  Rev. 1665722 . I could
reproduce the issue in this version too.

For replicating the issue I used the following steps:
Download the attached .pptx file from this issue to the local disc.
Open the attached .pptx file with OO Impress.
Open the attached .pptx file also with Google Presentation viewer or
LibreOffice Impress or Microsoft PowerPoint 2013.
In Google Presentation viewer and LibreOffice Impress and MS PowerPoint, part
of the text existing in the slides is coloured(two types of red nuances). In OO
Impress text is all black (except images which keep their colour).

There’s little documentation on how much support there is for .pptx The thing
that was obvious is that it might have been supported to a certain level in the
past as it was written in the release notes for version 3.0:
https://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.0/
I then took the version 3.4.1 of Apache Open Office available on the official
download web page and tried to reproduce the issue. The colours of the text
were kept.
So the change happened somewhere in between versions 3.4.1 and 4.1.1 as far as
I can tell.

Microsoft Powerpoint presentation saves files in this .pptx format since their
2007 version of Office. These file type is still widely used. Besides Microsoft
Office there is Google Presentation and another free open source version of
Office - Libre Office Impress which support displaying coloured text of .pptx
presentation.
