Vector graphics

The basic shapes (lines, arrows, rectangles, ovals) all import and export without any problem. OpenOffice.org provides a greater degree of control over some properties than Microsoft Office does, so sometimes there will be changes when going from OpenOffice.org to Microsoft Office. Examples include the size of arrow heads, and line styles.

The Microsoft Office autoshapes, such as the smiley face, keep their special characteristics, for instance the ability to adjust the degree of the smile or frown on the smiley face.

Microsoft Office provides more shadow options than OpenOffice.org, so sometimes there will be a change in shadow appearance. Microsoft Office shadow styles 1, 2, 4, 6, 14, 17 and 18 are supported in OpenOffice.org. Horizontal and tapered shadows do not get imported and any 3D effect on the bottom left is ignored.
