• When the same image file is used in many presentations (for
example when using the same background image for all the
presentations created)
• When the linked file will be available when loading the
presentation (for example if the presentation is a slide show of
holiday pictures)
Inserting a picture from a scanner
Inserting an image from a scanner is normally fairly straightforward.
Make sure that the scanner is supported by the SANE system if you are
running the Linux (or other UNIX-like) operating system, or TWAIN if
you are using a Windows version, and that it is already configured on
the machine on which OOo is running. In case more than one scanner
or equivalent devices are present, select the source from Insert >
Picture > Scan > Select Source.
To insert an image from the scanner:
1) Prepare the image in the scanner and make sure that the scanner
is ready.
2) Choose Insert > Picture > Scan > Request.
3) The rest of the procedure depends on the scanner driver and
interface. You will normally be required to specify the resolution,
a scan window and other parameters. Consult the scanner’s
documentation for more information.
4) When the image is ready, Impress places it in the slide. At this
point it can be edited as any other image.
Inserting a picture from the Gallery
The Gallery contains a collection of images that you can use in a
presentation. You can also add your own images to the Gallery, making
it an essential tool for creating presentations quickly and with a
consistent look. The Gallery is available in all components of
OpenOffice.org. For an introduction to the Gallery, see Chapter 11
(Graphics, the Gallery, and Fontwork) in the Getting Started guide.
Choose Tools > Gallery or click the Gallery icon on the Drawing
toolbar.
The Gallery displays categories of themes with images stored under
each category. Select a theme from the left pane and then scroll as
necessary through the right pane to find a suitable image. Click on the
image and drag it onto the workspace. Figure 57 shows an example.
