Caution
When resizing a graphic, right-click the picture. Select
Position and Size from the context menu and make sure that
Keep ratio is selected. Then adjust the height or width to the
size you need. (As you adjust one dimension both dimensions
will change.) Failure to do so will cause the picture to become
distorted. Remember also that resizing a bitmap image will
reduce its quality; better by far to create an image of the
desired size outside of Impress.
3) Adding text to a slide: If the slide contains text, click on
Click to
add an outline
in the text frame and then type your text. The
Outline styles from 1 to 10 are automatically applied to the text as
you insert it. You can change the outline level of each paragraph
as well as its position within the text using the arrow buttons on
the
Text Formatting
toolbar.
Step 4: To create additional slides, repeat steps 1–3.
Modifying the appearance of slides
To change the background and other characteristics of all slides in the
presentation, you need to modify the slide master or choose a different
slide master.
A
Slide Master
is a slide with a specified set of characteristics which is
used as the beginning point for creating other slides. These
characteristics include the background, objects in the background,
formatting of any text used, and any background graphics.
Note
OOo uses three interchangeable terms for this one concept.
Master slide
,
slide master
, and
master page
all refer to a slide
that is used to create other slides. This book, however, will use
only the term
slide master,
except when describing the user
interface.
Impress has 28 prepackaged slide masters, found in the Master Pages
section of the Tasks pane. You can also create and save additional slide
masters.
Modifying the slide show
Now review the entire presentation and answer some questions. Run
the slide show at least once before answering them. You might want to
add some questions of your own.
1) Are the slides in the correct order? If not, some of them will need
to be moved.
