Note

Unlike in Writer, where it is recommended to try to use styles

whenever possible, in Impress manual formatting needs to be

used more often. This is because presentation styles are fixed;

therefore it is not possible, for example, to have two different

level 1’s or different types of bullet points for the same outline

level.

Also, the lack of support for character styles forces the use of

manual formatting to modify sections of the text.

Selecting text

Text must be selected before it can be formatted.

• To format all the text in a text box, click once on the text, then

click once on the border of the text box. Only the green resizing

handles are displayed. Now any formatting changes will apply to

all the text in the text box.

• To format only part of the text, click once on the text, then select

the text to be formatted by clicking and dragging (highlighting)

over it. You can also use keyboard combinations to select text:

move the cursor where you want to begin your selection, press

Shift and then use the arrow buttons to extend your selection.

Formatting changes will apply only to the selected text.

Tip

To select text word by word, instead of by character, press the

Control key and Shift key together. To speed up the selection

even further, you can combine the Shift key with the Home key

or the End key to extend the selection up to the start or end of

the line in which the cursor is positioned, respectively.

Using styles to format text

Impress has two categories of styles: the presentation styles and the

graphics styles. Presentation styles are used on text inserted into an

AutoLayout area, slide master backgrounds, and background objects.

However, for text inserted in a text box or a graphic object, you need to

apply a graphic style.

In this chapter we focus mostly on Presentation styles. For information

on graphic styles, see Chapter 6 (Formatting Graphic Objects).
