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) To add OLE Objects, refer to Chapter 7 (Inserting
Spreadsheets, Charts, and Other Objects) where this
advanced technique is described.
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 on screen, even though the original image is unchanged
(Impress stores the original file). A better approach is to create
an image of the desired size outside of Impress and then import it
into the presentation.
3) If you need to add text to a slide that contains a text frame, click
on Click to add an outline in the text frame and then type your
text. The Outline styles 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 by using the arrow buttons
on the Text Formatting toolbar (see “Outline view” on page 13).
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 that acts
as a template and 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.
