Inserting other objects
Impress offers the capability of inserting in a slide various types of
objects such as music or video clips, Writer documents, Math formulas,
generic OLE objects and so on. A typical presentation may contain
movie clips, sound clips, OLE objects and formulas; other objects are
less frequently used since they do not appear during a slide show.
This section covers the part of the Insert menu shown in Figure 138.

Note
On UNIX systems, the Media Player requires the Java Media
Framework API (JMF). Download and install the JMF files, and
add the path to the installed jmf.jar to the class path in Tools >
Options > OpenOffice.org > Java.
To insert a movie clip or a sound into a presentation, select Insert >
Movie and Sound. Select the media file to insert from the dialog box,
to place the object on the slide.
To insert media clips directly from the Gallery:
1) If not already open, open the Gallery by selecting Tools >
Gallery.
2) Browse to the Theme containing media files (for example the
Sounds theme).
3) Click on the movie or sound to be inserted and drag it into the
slide area.
The Media Playback toolbar (Figure 139) is automatically opened (by
default, at the bottom of the screen, just above the Drawing toolbar; it
can also be made to float). You can preview the media object as well as
resize it. If the toolbar does not open, select View > Media Playback.
