Dear list members: I have created a slide presentation with Openoffice.org Impress. (Suse Linux 9.2, Openoffice 1.1.3) Since the language of the presentation is hungarian I used special hungarian characters, like ő (o") and ű (u"). I have to show the slides somewhere where only windows and MS Power Point is available. Therefore I have saved my presentation from openoffice as power point (.ppt) file. When I checked the presentation on a windows machine opening it by MS Power Point I realized that the above characters were replaced by o and u. I tried several font types (arial, times new roman etc) but the result was the same. For checking the origin of incompability, I created a slide with MS PP in windows containing the above characters. Opening the file with the WINDOWS VERSION openoffice, the characters looked as expected (normal). Then I saved this slide from openoffice as openoffice file (.sxi) Reopening the file the characters looked normal. Then I saved from openoffice this slide as .ppt. Opening this ppt with MS powerpoint, the o" and u'' characters changed again to o and u. Please if you know what can cause this problem and how to correct it, or know a place where I can get more info write. (Since this is urgent, I had no time for googling and check openoffice. org site yet) TIA, IG
