Christopher Forster, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the original pptx from MS Office before opening it in LibreOffice?

[Christopher Forster (christopherforster)]

.pptx Bug affects both browsing Slides and displaying Slide Show F5 in LibreOffice Impress 3.4.3.

Christopher Forster (christopherforster), thank you for attaching the document. Could you please provide a screenshot of how it should have looked in MS PowerPoint 2010?

Christopher Forster, as you noted there are 4 screenshots demonstrating the 4 issues with the attached file, this bug will focus on the first one. If a fix is desired for all 4, your welcome to make a separate bug for each problem.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Christopher Forster, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

"MS doesn't aim for interoperability. Even it's "Open" formats are designed to push people into buying their latest products. Note that a DocX written in MS Office 2010 often doesn't display properly in MS Office 2007."

I just tried this with LibreOffice 4.0.2 and the text is aligned as in the screenshot, on the right.
So this has been fixed somewhere in between.
