I want to have several master slides in my presentation so I created them in View ► Master ► Slide Master. The background images of my master slides are different (I added the images to each master slide by right clicking in its background and selecting Slide ► Set Background Picture for Slide). Then I styled my presentation using the master slides I configured. It looks OK but when I save my presentation in ODP format, next time I open it the slide backgrounds are all messed up.

Seems curious to me that this doesn't happen when I save the presentation in Microsoft Office PPT format. Is someone there working for the competition?

Any workaround for this? Am I just doing something wrong?

Edit: I'm using LibreOffice 3.2.2 in Ubuntu 10.10.

that's a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/316023

You can change the background in normal view, right-clicking on the slide (and selecting "this slide only")... as a poor work-around.

Or, the "traditional way" using different backgrounds (colors, pics, etc.) on master slides:

Create your masters Select the first master "F11" to show the styles window Select Background style > Modify > Aera > Fill > Bitmap

NB: you must first import your pictures as a bitmap images, selecting menu: Format > Area > Bitmap > Import your photos [and set the correct options] -- that's maybe the catch?

Repeat with the other Master copies.
