Creating the first slide
The first slide is normally a title slide. Decide which of the layouts will
best suit your purposes for this first slide: simplicity would be
appropriate in this instance. You can use the pre-packaged layouts
available in the Layout section of the Tasks pane. Suitable layouts are
Title Slide
(which also contains a section for a subtitle) or
Title Only
,
however all but one layout (the blank one) contains a title section, so
you are not restricted to the two layouts described here.
Tip
If you do not know the names for the pre-packaged layouts, you
can use the tooltip feature. Position the cursor on an icon in the
Layout section (or on any toolbar icon) and its name will be
displayed in a small rectangle.
If the tooltips are not enabled, you can enable them. From the
main menu, select Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org >
General > Help and mark the Tips checkbox. If the Extended
tips checkbox is also marked, you will get more detailed tooltip
information, but the tooltip names themselves will not be
provided.
Select a layout in the Layout section of the Tasks pane by clicking on it:
it appears in the Workspace. To create the title, click on
Click to add
title
(assuming the
Blank Slide
layout was not used)
and then type the
title text. Adjustments to the formatting of the title can be done by
pressing the
F11
key, right-clicking the
Title
presentation style entry,
and selecting Modify from the pop-up menu.
If you are using the
Title Slide
layout, click on “
Click to add text”
to add
a
subtitle
. Proceed as above to make adjustments to the formatting if
required.
Inserting additional slides
The steps for inserting additional slides are basically the same as for
selecting the title page. It is a process that has to be repeated for each
slide. Unless you are using more than one slide master, your only
concern is the
Layouts
section of the Tasks pane (Figure 12).
