This is a first for me but it was easily fixed.
I have a lecture made in LO but saved as a .ppt which I have accessed many times since originally made back in 2008. It has been expanded, reduced, reoriented you name it.
Well, It just would not open.
I have WPS also on the computer, although I do NOT use it, it is just there since it is a Chineese(mainland) operation and commercial and it WOULD open it but would not "save as" because the suite only gives "3" saves or one has to go paid.
But, just for grins and giggles I REINSTALLED Impress and...it worked!
So, it was either LO was corrupted in some way or needed to be specifically updated BUT it was not in the list of stuff to be updated in Synaptic.
So anyway I just thought I'd post this for any new people who may run into the problem and don't want them to get into a panic.
