#475370 — LO liars: "LibreOffice is compatible with PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx)" No, it isn't.

https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/


So I opened a .pptx file with LO 6.1.0.3 for Windows.

Nearly every page is extremely garbled, if not completely unreadable.

Here's the .pptx file

MS Office is doomed.

Clearly, you've edited the image to make it look worse than it is and we 
will all now demonize you as a spawn of Snit and such.

D'oh! I can confirm that it doesn't open properly here on the latest 
version of LibreOffice. The first two slides seem okay but the third is 
clearly garbled up. However, I wonder whether a similar presentation 
produced in LibreOffice Impress would have ended up in the same way if 
opened in Microsoft Office. If not, wouldn't it be correct to assume 
that maybe the _format_, not the software, is the issue?

I don't entirely trust the OfficeOpen XML format.

Idiot. Sockboy has yet to show how Linux does anything above the lowest common denominator on Linux.

While it is different mistakes, Keynote also has problems with it.

Just responded to a post by Carroll where he insinuated I do not use 
evidence to back what I claim. But the real issue people in COLA have 
with me, including you and Carroll, is I *DO* generally use strong 
evidence.

LOL!

Ironically, I have xx.ppt files that LO opens with no problems. In any
event, the overlapping layers are still coming into LO, they're just not 
displaying properly. Can you show a screen shot of #3 in MSO so I can
see what it's supposed to look like?

Thanks. I saw the first one in LO on my Mac but I don't have MSO 
on any platform). I was playing with the layout for a bit to see what
the issue might've been, didn't get it to look like that, though.

What did Klaus Schadenfreude have to say about this miraculous, years long string of oddities? Most of the time he would try to push the reader to believe they're real people who just happened to have not enough brains to see through his lies. Yeah, right! Some time ago I did work on and showed some Visual C++ for the front end (only works on high end systems) which is the only thing you can do when trying to avoid Klaus Schadenfreude's nonstop crap while reading with Google Groups. 

With no support at all, as is usual for Klaus Schadenfreude. 

I thought showing Klaus Schadenfreude a taste of his own medicine might help the situation. It did not.

Looks like Office wins with OfficeOpen XML files... now, I wonder how it 
would do with .odt or .ods files.

There are scores of pptx files online describing RSA.  All of the ones
I've tried open perfectly in LO.

Looks like you got that POS doc here:

https://www.coursehero.com/file/33983119/03-RSApptx/

Not subscribing just to download it though.

Let's see how it looks in MS Office.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

The Stooge must have gotten up way before the chickens this morning.
He's obviously been searching for hours and hours to find this rare tidbit.

But what has he accomplished?  Absolutely nothing.  Less than nothing,
actually.

Let us all congratulate the fool for the most USELESS time spent.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

"Works for me!"

People love to hear that...

I got it here:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxtYXRoNmFmYWxsMjAxOHxneDozODdlYmEwODM5NTFlNjkw

It looks fine onscreen in my Opera browser (Google doc viewer).  Now 
click the download icon at upper right and it will force/save to your 
default download folder with no name or destination prompting (at least 
it did on my Windows system).

Then I navigated to the file, right-clicked and chose Open With | LO 
Impress.

I don't have a version of Office that will open .pptx files.  But I 
converted it to .ppt and it looks fine in PowerPoint 2003 and LO Impress 
for Windows.

It's Snit's problem and he has to want to deal with it. Obviously he would rather blame others than face reality. Just some names Steve Carroll has used
    "Evil" John *
    "Evil" Snit *
    Big Crotch on a Small Fish
    Cornelius Munshower
    CSMA Moderator
    Edward Stanfield
    Fretwiz *
    Hitman Hero
    Measles
    Petruzzellis Kids
    Sigmond
    Slaveen
    Smit
    Steve C *
    Steve Camoll *
    Steve Carroll <noone@xxxxxxxxxxx> *
    Steve Carroll <stevecarroll@xxxxxxxxxxx> *
    Steve Carroll <trollkiller@xxxxxx> *
    Steve Carroll's Dog *
    Steve Carrolll *
    Steve Carrroll *
    Yevette Owens
    Yobo_Obyo
Taking time possibly educating yourself isn't a waste. Thinking you know everything and taking it on yourself to persuade Klaus Schadenfreude that it is true, as Snit tries to do? That is a waste ;) 

These losers get their thrill out of provoking emotional responses to their nonsense, which is the very definition of a troll.
