Control+Shift+Spacebar on the keyboard to insert a non-

breaking space.

• Non-breaking hyphen: A non-breaking hyphen keeps the two

words separated by the hyphen on the same line.

• Optional hyphen: An invisible hyphen that is activated (thus

breaking the word) only when the word is too long to fit on one

line.

Introduction to formatting text

The appropriate use of text formatting can give a presentation a

consistent look and a dynamic feel, and it can even enhance the

audience’s understanding of your message by preventing distracting

elements.

When you enter text, either in an AutoLayout text box or in a normal

text box, it is formatted with a style, that is, with a set of predefined

attributes. The style used is the outline level of the point where the

text was entered for AutoLayout text boxes (for example, if you are

entering a level 2 item, Impress will format it according to the Outline

2 presentation style) or the Default Graphic style for text boxes.

Tip

Sometimes, as seen also in the “Pasting text” section on page 56,

it is very useful to re-apply the baseline style to a selection of

text, thus eliminating any manual formatting applied to it

(particularly if you made a mistake and you do not know how to

undo it). To do this, select the manually formatted text, and then

select Format > Default formatting from the menu bar.

Broadly speaking, formatting text may require some intervention in

three areas:

• The character attributes (for example the font color)

• The paragraph attributes (for example the alignment)

• The list attributes (for example the type of bullet)

In some cases it is quicker and more efficient to apply manual

formatting; but in situations where you need to perform the same

modifications to many different parts of the presentation, the use of

styles is recommended. Both these techniques are described here.
