Problem description:
  When trying to edit a .ppt presentation (even one which was produced by libre) shift-tab on a second level bulleted list indents and switches to an odd bullet.

  This corresponds to Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/330117
  and OpenOffice bug : https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=99843

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a shell, type libreoffice
2) You see a libreoffice window asking you what type of document you want, click 'presentation'
3) You now see an empty document with 'Click to add title' and a centred 'Click to add text', on the right there isa series of sections, Master Pages, Layouts, table Design. If 'layouts' isn't already open, click on the >Layouts to open it,
4) Click on the left most layout on the 2nd row - if you hover over it it says 'Title, Content'. When you click the empty document changes so that the 'Click to add text' is now at the top left with a round bullet.
5) Click on 'Click to add title', type 'This is a title'
6) Now click on the 'Click to add text' and and type 'Level 1' hit return
7) Now hit tab and type Level 2 hit return (as you hit tab the bullet changes to a -)
8) type More level 2 and hit return and then Yet more level 2
9) Now go to File->Save as, select a Filter: of Microsoft Powerpoint 97/2000/XP/2003 (.ppt), type a filename (say broken2.ppt) and hit save
10) Convert the 'use Microsoft Powerpoint 97/2000/xp/2003 format' prompt
11) Exit libreoffice (File->Exit, click Discard when it prompts)
12) Now reopen libreoffice (e.g. at the terminal)
13) Use File->Open to open broken2.ppt
14) Click on the L of the 1st line that says Level 2 and then double click, the 'Level 2' is now inverted to show it's highlighted.
15) Hit shift-tab

step 15 now shows the bug -

Current behavior:
the text incorrectly moves to the right and a bullet >> is shown.

Expected behavior:
   it should be moving to the left and the bullet should match the 1st level bullet. Note this happens if you don't go through a .ppt format at any stage.
