Brian,
frankly, I never noticed. :) Then again, what can I say about this invisible world?
But yes, as for the display problems, it did sound like something was missing. Glad you found it.

I found that the document would load correctly, but if it were modified in LibreOffice and saved to it's original pptx format and then reloaded the colors were messed up and the dashed lines were converted to solid lines.
