4) If some outline levels have too many points to fit on one slide, you

can expand those slides as described in “Expanding a slide” on

page 184 or duplicate the slides and manually change their

contents as described in “Duplicating a slide” on page 182.

Copying and pasting an outline

Use this method to add slides from an outline to an existing

presentation.

1) Create a new slide and choose the “Title, Text” layout

(see “Choosing a slide layout from the list” on page 191).

2) Paste in the text area the outline created with Writer. Do

not worry if the text does not fit the space on the slide.

3) When pasting, the hierarchical structure of the outline may be

lost. If necessary, use the Demote button on the Text

Formatting toolbar to recreate it so that the outline points are at

the correct hierarchical level. It may be useful to open the Style

and Formatting window at the Presentation styles page to track

the outline level of each item.

4) If some outline levels have too many points to fit on one slide, you

can expand those slides or duplicate the slides and manually

change their contents.

Modifying slides

It is highly recommended to avoid manually changing the formatting of

individual slides in a presentation; instead, use slide masters as much

as possible. A presentation can have multiple slide masters, so the

need for modifying slide backgrounds or other features should be an

exception rather than the rule. See Chapter 2 for details about using

slide masters.
