Please download the sample In-Table Master-Detail document we created in this article:

• In-Table Master-Detail.pptx (Template for CustomObject and JSON examples)
• In-Table Master-Detail_DB.pptx (Template for DataBase examples)
• In-Table Master-Detail_DT.pptx (Template for DataSet examples)
• In-Table Master-Detail_XML.pptx (Template for XML examples)

OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) is a presentation document format which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint Document (PPT/PPTX) formats. Since ODP is not a Microsoft Proprietary format, there are multiple software (including Microsoft Office and Apache OpenOffice) available to create, open, edit and save this format. For more information on the available software to work with ODP, please visit wikipedia article.

In this topic, we ’ll not reinvent the wheel to recreate a template for generating an ‘In-Table Master-Detail’ report in ODP format. Instead, we’ll save the existing template to ODP format using Microsoft Office. In order to achieve this; assuming you are using Microsoft Office 2010, please follow below steps:

1. Open existing template we created in previous topic.
2. Click “File” and select “Save As”.
3. Select “OpenDocument Presentation” from “Save As Type” drop down.
4. Click “Save”.

• In-Table Master-Detail_OpenDocument.odp (use same template for JSON examples)
• In-Table Master-Detail_DB_OpenDocument.odp
• In-Table Master-Detail_DT_OpenDocument.odp
• In-Table Master-Detail_XML_OpenDocument.odp

In order to check compatibility of ODP between Microsoft Office 2010 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2, we performed below tests:

• We opened the ODP template created through Microsoft Office 2010 in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The template opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
• We opened the ODP report generated through GroupDocs.Assembly in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The report opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
