Chapter 5: Creating Presentations With Impress
Note that this modification is only valid for the current presentation document.
Switching Page Styles
The subordinate designs which make up the slide design determine the way an object looks,
including its background. The slide design can also be called a “Master Slide”. In Impress,
assign a different slide design to each slide as desired.
1. Go to the slide that is to have a different Master page.
2. Select Format > Styles > Slide Design... to open the dialogue
3. Click Load.... to see the Load Slide Design dialogue.
4. Select a new slide design from the dialogue, e.g. from the area “Presentation
Backgrounds”
5. Confirm this with OK.
6. If the Exchange background page check box is checked, the new slide design applies to
all pages of the current document. If there is no check mark in it, then this action only
applies to the current slide. This provides the flexibility to define a different slide design,
and thus a different background, for example, for one single slide. Assuming, that
Exchange background page is not checked, the background selected will now be assigned
to the slide currently in use.
Presentation Styles
As part of slide design there are a whole set of Presentation
Styles that may be assigned to the slides. Open the Styles
and Formatting window to see a list of the predefined
Styles. Existing Styles may be modified but any
modifications are valid only for those slides in the current
document that uses this slide design or new Styles created.
The built-in Styles, Outline 1 through Outline 9, enable the
user to give the outlined headings and topics on the slides a
uniform look.
Open a new, empty presentation with a slide layout that
allows greater structural depth. The slide layout called
“Title, Text” is suitable for this purpose.
1. Activate the outline view mode by clicking View > Master View > Outline View (starting
in the Menu bar) or by pressing the F12 key.
Note: The slide layout chosen determines the number of levels of outline. If a slide layout which does not permit
any outline is chosen, notice that the outline functions are not available.
