Figure 151: Choosing outline levels for an autoabstract
Copying and pasting an outline
Use this method to add slides from an outline to an existing
presentation.
1) Create a new slide and choose the “Title, Text” layout
(see “Choosing a slide layout from the list” on page 200).
2) Paste in the text area the outline created with Writer. Do
not worry if the text does not fit the space on the slide.
3) When pasting, the hierarchical structure of the outline may be
lost. If necessary, use the Demote button on the Text
Formatting toolbar to recreate it so that the outline points are at
the correct hierarchical level.
Tip
It may be useful to open the Style and Formatting window at the
Presentation styles page to track the outline level of each item.
If some outline levels have too many points to fit on one slide, see
“Duplicating a slide” or “Expanding a slide” on page 192.
Modifying slides
Use slide masters to avoid manually changing the formatting of
individual slides. Multiple slide masters can be used in a single
presentation to avoid modifying slide backgrounds or other features.
See Chapter 2 (Slide Masters, Styles, and Templates) for details about
using slide masters.
Formatting the slide or page area
The Page Setup dialog box (Figure 152) can be used to set up the page
layout for different views in Impress such as Notes or Handouts (see
pages 204 and 209).
