Creating a new presentation
This section describes how to set up a new presentation. The settings
selected here are general: they apply to all the slides.
Planning a presentation
The first thing to do is to decide what you are going to do with the
presentation. For example, putting a group of digital photos together in
a presentation requires very little planning. However, using a
presentation to increase the knowledge of others about your topic
requires much more planning.
You need to ask and answer many questions before you begin creating
a presentation. If you are not acquainted with creating presentations,
the answers will be more general. Those who have created a variety of
presentations in the past will want to have more specific answers.
Who is to see the presentation? How will it be used? What is the
subject matter? What should be in its outline? How detailed should the
outline be? Will an audio file be played? Is animation desirable? How
should the transition between slides be handled? These are some of the
many questions that should be asked, answered, and written down
before creating the presentation. Sound and animation are more
advanced topics and are explained in the Impress Guide.
Again, it is not always necessary at this point to have specific answers
to every question. Making an outline is extremely important. You may
already know exactly what some of the slides will contain. You may
only have a general idea of what you want on some of the slides. That
is alright. You can make some changes as you go. Change your outline
to match the changes you make in your slides.
The important part is that you have a general idea of what you want
and how to get it. Put that information on paper. That makes it much
easier to create the presentation.
Using the Presentation Wizard
You can start Impress in several ways:
• From the OOo Welcome screen, if no component is open.
• From the system menu or the OOo Quickstarter. Details vary with
your operating system; see Chapter 1 for more information.
• From any open component of OOo. Click the triangle to the right
of the New icon on the main toolbar and select Presentation from
