Select Tools > Gallery or click the Gallery icon on the Drawing

toolbar.

By default, the Gallery (shown in Figure 57) is docked above the

Impress workspace. To expand the Gallery, position the pointer over

the line that divides it from the top of the workspace. When the pointer

changes to parallel lines with arrows, click and drag downward. The

workspace will resize in response.

To expand the Gallery without affecting the Impress workspace,

undock it so it floats over the workspace. To do so, hold down the

Control

key and double-click on the upper part of the Gallery next to

the View icons (see Figure 57). Double-click in the same area to dock it

again (restore it to its position over the workspace).

When the Gallery is docked, to hide it and view the full Impress

workspace, click the Hide/Show button in the middle of the thin bar

separating the Gallery from the workspace (see Figure 57). The Hide/

Show button lets you keep the Gallery open for quick access while you

create your slide show, yet out of the way when you need it to be.

Additional information on the use of the Gallery can be found in

“Managing the Gallery themes” on page 101.

Once you are satisfied with the Gallery display, select a theme from the

left pane and then scroll as necessary through the right pane to find a

suitable image. Click on the image and drag it onto the workspace.

Figure 58 shows an example of an image dragged from the Gallery.

At this point the image will be in your slide, but may not be of a

satisfactory size; if necessary, re-size it as described in “Resizing a

picture” on page 93.
