Description

Created an attachment (id=303)
testcase code

I needed to change the creator name in some presentations that I am working on as I borrowed a slide deck from someone to get her look and feel. However I did not want her name showing up as the presentation creator. As Open Office and Symphony offer no way to edit this field I wrote the attached small program to do it.

In my testing I found:

1. If the creator name is not set yet (ie null) my program works

2. If the creator name is already set, the ODF toolkit throws a NullPointerException during save().

I am attaching a test case and a one page odp file.
