Chapter 5: Creating Presentations With Impress
If the context menu of a selected slide is called up, the Show/Hide Slide command will be
seen. One can use this command to temporarily remove the current slide from the
presentation, without deleting it from the actual document. A slide that is not shown in the
presentation receives a name highlighted in gray.
Incorporating Slide Show Effects
In the Slide View mode, define transition effects to precede the display of each slide:
1. Click on the second slide once to select it.
2. On the object bar under Transition, select “Automatic” and enter the desired display
time for the first slide, for example 00:01:00. That means that the second slide will be
displayed for one minute.
3. Select a desired effect from the Effects list on the object bar.
4. Click the small button to the left underneath the second slide to preview the selected
effects.
5. Save the presentation again using Ctrl+S or from File > Save menu item.
In-Slide Effects
OpenOffice.org 2.x offers in-slide effects such as fade-in et cetera. To add effects within a
slide use Custom Animations.
Showing a Presentation
By following the previous steps there is now a finished presentation ready for display.
To run it, click the Slide Show icon on the main toolbar, and the presentation will
start automatically in default mode, that is to say, in full-screen mode.
Click once with the mouse and the second slide will be displayed (preceded by the defined
transition effect). After the last slide, a black slide is displayed, which means that the
presentation is over. End the presentation by pressing the Escape key. The Escape key
may also be used to stop the presentation before the end, as necessary.
At this point, more slides may be added to the presentation or some of the other effects
attempted.
