It might have been, but I don't think so. I'm sure it was in the
repositories, though not there now. I'll look on the OO site later and if
it's there I'll install it. Some of the presentation backgrounds I used from
OO in the past are represented properly in LO, so it should be compatible.
I'll get back regarding this and possibly record a bug with LO

O.K., after extensive time and effort and no small expence to the management, I find that Open Office extensions found here: http://tinyurl.com/3ho4u9r are fully interoperable with Libre Office, so they must be still talking amongst themselves and there's still hope for the world.
I found that downloading them through the Libre Office extension manager wasn't native so downloaded them to a file then a standard double click on the file then worked well through the extension manager. But I'm running SID so that could well be a factor.

Weaver.
