BUG: Google slides error "Multiple column formatting in shapes will be removed"

Open marekhalmo opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a simple PPTX with bullet slide
  • Open given PPTX in google slides (Android 1.25.321.00.90 - 07/2025)

Google slides displays a warning "Slides can't display some features of this PowerPoint presentation" with subtext - "Multiple column formatting in shapes will be removed"

CHAT GPT suggested fix:

  • Unzip the PPTX (rename .pptx → .zip).
  • Open ppt/slideLayouts/slideLayout5.xml.
  • Change in xml:

numCol="2" to numCol="1"

  • Zip it back up and rename to .pptx.

the suggested fix works - i suggest to fix template code so that the generated PPTX will open properly in Google Slides
