ii. Browse to the graphic file. To see a preview of the picture,
check Preview at the bottom of the Insert picture dialog
box. Select a picture and click Open.
iii. Move the picture to its location.
iv. Resize the picture, if necessary.
c) Adding OLE Objects is an advanced technique covered in
Chapter 7 (Inserting spreadsheets, charts, and objects).
Caution
When resizing a graphic, right-click the picture. Select Position
and Size from the context menu and make sure that Keep ratio
is selected. Then adjust the height or width to the size you need.
(As you adjust one dimension both dimensions will change.)
Failure to do so will cause the picture to become distorted.
Remember also that resizing a bitmap image will reduce its
quality; better by far to create an image of the desired size
outside of Impress.
3) Adding text to a slide: If the slide contains text, click on
Click to
add an outline
in the text frame and then type your text. The
Outline styles from 1 to 10 are automatically applied to the text as
you insert it. You can change the outline level of each paragraph
as well as its position within the text using the arrow buttons on
the
Text Formatting
toolbar (see “Outline view” on page 11).
Step 4: To create additional slides, repeat steps 1–3.
Modifying the appearance of slides
To change the background and other characteristics of all slides in the
presentation, you need to modify the slide master or choose a different
slide master.
A
Slide Master
is a slide with a specified set of characteristics which is
used as the beginning point for creating other slides. These
characteristics include the background, objects in the background,
formatting of any text used, and any background graphics.
Note
OOo uses three interchangeable terms for this one concept.
Master slide
,
slide master
, and
master page
all refer to a slide
that is used to create other slides. This book, however, will use
only the term
slide master,
except when describing the user
interface.
Impress has five pre-packaged slide masters, found in the Master
Pages section of the
Tasks pane
(Figure 2). You can also create and
