Chapter 5: Creating Presentations With Impress
Editing Presentations
This section shows how to use the versatile features of Impress to fine tune a presentation.
Many of the methods available in Draw can also be used in Impress, such as entering text and
converting it into 3D, turning objects into curves and polygons, editing connectors and glue
points and so on. For details, please refer to the chapter on Draw.
Defining Background colours
The background of a slide in a presentation or drawing document can be handled either in the
master view or by assigning another Page Style to the slides or by modifying the current Page
Style.
• Switch to the master view by using the icon in the lower left-hand
corner of the work area.
The master view permits editing the background for all slides. All objects that are entered
in this view, whether company logos, lines or text, are displayed in the background on all
slides that use the current Page Style (the master page). This allows headers and footers on
to be reproduced on all presentation slides. Objects inserted in the Master View cannot be
modified in the normal Slide View.
• Change only the background used in the presentation using the following steps:
a) Right click in any slide
b) Choose Slide > Page Setup
c) Select the Background tab
d) Choose a colour, gradient, hatching or bitmap for the background.
e) Click OK
f) The next dialogue asks if the settings should apply to all slides or just to the current
slide. By answering “Yes” to the question “Background settings for all
slides?", the Background Presentation Style will be modified for the current master
page and all slides with this Page Style will have the modified background. Answering
“No”, means that only the background of the current slide is modified.
• Modify the Presentation Styles in the Styles and Formatting window by following these
steps:
1. Open the Styles and Formatting window,
2. Click the Presentation Styles icon, if it is not already selected, to see all existing
Styles of this type in the Styles and Formatting window.
3. Select the Background Style.
4. Right-click to open the context menu for this Style and choose Modify.
5. Choose the background for all slides with the current Page Style.
6. Click OK.
