Modifying the slide show
By default the slide show will display all the slides in the same order as they appear
in the slide sorter, without any transition between slides, and you need some
keyboard or mouse interaction to move from one slide to the next.
You can use the Slide Show menu to change the order of the slides, choose which
ones are shown, automate moving from one slide to the next, and other settings. To
change the slide transition, animate slides, add a soundtrack to the presentation, and
make other enhancements, you need to use functions in the Task pane. See the
Impress Guide for details on how to use all of these features.
Adding and formatting text
Many of your slides are likely to contain some text. This section gives you some
guidelines on how to add text and how to change its appearance. Text in slides is
contained in text boxes.
There are two types of text boxes that you can add to a slide:
• Choose a predefined layout from the Layouts section of the Tasks pane and do
not select any special contents type. These text boxes are called AutoLayout
text boxes.
• Create a text box using the text tool in the Drawing toolbar.
Using text boxes created from the Layout pane
In Normal view:
1) Click in the text box that reads Click to add text, Click to add an outline, or
a similar notation.
2) Type or paste your text in the text box.
Using text boxes created from the text box tool
In Normal view:
1) Click on the Text icon on the Drawing toolbar. If the toolbar with the text
icon is not visible, choose View > Toolbars > Drawing.
2) Click and drag to draw a box for the text on the slide. Do not worry about the
vertical size and position—the text box will expand if needed as you type.
3) Release the mouse button when finished. The cursor appears in the text box,
which is now in edit mode (gray hashed border with green resizing handles
shown in Figure 144).
4) Type or paste your text in the text box.
5) Click outside the text box to deselect it.
