Expanding a slide
Sometimes you will have a slide with too many subpoints to fit in the
space available. Instead of reducing the font size or using other
methods to squeeze more text into the space, it is usually better to
subdivide the contents of the slide into two or more slides.
As mentioned in the Tip above, you can duplicate the slide and
manually split the points. Another way is to “expand” the contents of
the slide. To do this:
1) [optional] Duplicate the slide (in case it is needed later).
2) Choose Insert > Expand Slide from the menu bar. Impress
creates a new slide for each highest level of the outline. The
outline text becomes the title of the new slide. Outline points
below the top level on the original slide are moved up one level on
the new slide.
3) If required, repeat steps 2 and 3 on any slide where level 2
entries of the outline exist, to expand those as well.
Figure 139 shows a slide with an outline consisting of three high level
points and two second-level points under bullet point 2. The Expand
command has generated three slides, each having as title the first level
outline and (if present) the second level points in the text area.
Figure 139: Slide 1 is expanded in slides 2, 3 and 4.
