Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 101582
pptx:Power Point does not open correctly in Impress
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:20:06 UTC
Power Point presentation opens from the "Open existing presentation" with the following warning: "Error loading the template : Incorrect format. The file cannot be used as a template." Text at the bottom of the pages displays as text boxes with borders around them, presentation does not have this issue in Power Point viewer 2007.
Created attachment 62031 [details] Power Point 2007 document
Reproducible. Reassigned.
Chris Kenst 2013-6-16 I know this is already confirmed but just to add, in case it isn't clear, this seems to be an issue with .pptx files and not .ppt. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a .pptx (PowerPoint 2007 and later) file 2. Close Impress 3. Open Impress 4. On the Presentation Wizard, select Open existing presentation - the most recent should be your .pptx file which will now throw the error "Error loading the template:". If you have any other .pptx files in the list it will also throw this error.
