Duplicating a slide
Duplicating a slide is a convenient way to add slides, since the new
slide will inherit formatting, layout and animations from the selected
slide. To duplicate a slide:
1) Go to Normal view either by clicking on the tab on the work area
or selecting View > Normal from the menu bar.
2) Make sure that the slide to be duplicated is on the work area.
3) Select Insert > Duplicate Slide from the menu bar.
The duplicated slide is inserted after the original slide and is displayed
in the work area.
Tip
Duplicating a slide is a good way to prevent having slides with
too much information crowded on them. Try duplicating the
“busy” slide and split the points over two or more slides. All the
formatting, backgrounds, and so on will be preserved.
Renaming a slide
To rename a slide, do one of the following:
• Right-click on the slide thumbnail in the Slides pane or in the
main area when in Slide Sorter view and select Rename Slide
from the pop-up menu.
• In Normal view, right-click on the slide in the work area, then
select Slide > Rename Slide from the pop-up menu.
In the Rename Slide dialog box, type a new name for the slide and then
click OK.
Expanding a slide
Sometimes you will have a slide with too many sub-points 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
