Notes in Impress vs. PowerPoint
Hello,
My wife is willing to consider converting to LibreOffice 4
permanently. Here's her major issue, in two parts:
(1) She does not know how to start or use Notes in LibreOffice Impress
(the presentation part).
(2) When she starts (and saves) Notes in PowerPoint, and then works on
the presentation in LibreOffice -- even if she does not touch the
Notes while in LibreOffice -- when she re-opens the presentation in
PowerPoint the Notes are all fouled up every which way.
What does she need to do?
Thank you very much!

Nope. It is a derivative clone of OpenOffice. The original is alive and well under Apache control.
You can get LibreOffice mailing list addresses from their website. (same place you got the program)
Why not use Apache OpenOffice instead?

Hello,
Clarence, thank you very much for the information. Unfortunately,
saving as .ppx is not an option. Will saving as .ppt work?
Larry, I thought LibreOffice was simply the new version of OpenOffice.
How is the latter the real thing, as you put it? (Also, since you said
LibreOffice has its own separate mailing list, do you have the address
for that?)
Thanks!

Re: Notes in Impress vs. PowerPoint

This is a help list for Apache OpenOffice. LibreOffice is a clone of OpenOffice and has their
own help mailing list. For problems with LibreOffice you should ask them.
Or switch to the real thing, instead of a clone.

Hello Clarence,
Thank you very much for your advice to save it as .ppt.
Does that only apply when saving the LibO file, or does she also need
to do it in PowerPoint?
Thanks again!

Re: Notes in Impress vs. PowerPoint

Jeff,
I did the same test again only now I used .pptx file format. And I see the problem.
It mixes the LibO notes over top of the Powerpoint notes.
We need to add a bug report for this. As a workaround, if she saves her powerpoint file
as a ppx (powerpoint 97-2004 presentation) then it will transfer back and forth correctly in LibO. I
know this is not ideal.

Hello Clarence,
My wife uses LibO 4.0 and PowerPoint 2010. While in LibO, she's in
Windows 7 Home Premium and saves the file as PowerPoint 2007/2010
(.pptx). At work (where she uses PowerPoint 2010), she also does it on
Windows (either 7 or 8.1, she's not sure...it's a government office if
that helps).
Thank you very kindly!

Re: Notes in Impress vs. PowerPoint
Posted by Clarence M Weaver <cm...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jeff,
I just did a test with LibreOffice 4.1 (LibO) and Powerpoint for Mac 2011 version 14.3.5 both running on Mac OS X 10.8.4
I had no problem going back and forth. I created notes in one and opened them in the other and then reversed the process. It worked flawlessly.
What version of LibO are you using? Which Operating System? Which version of Powerpoint?
Version 4.1 has a panel above the document pane marked Normal | Outline | Notes | etc.
Just click on Notes button to view the notes.
Are you saving the file in Powerpoint 97 file format from LibO?
Clarence

Go to the LO website/mailing list/wiki and ask for help there.
