Chapter 5: Creating Presentations With Impress
Using Outline View
One way to create a completely new presentation is in the Outline View mode. All slide titles
appear in a list along with the headings and sub-topics. The hierarchy of the headings as well
as the sequence of the slides can be easily modified.
1. The preview window should have opened; if not, it can be shown by choosing View >
Preview. The Preview window enables the user to view the slide layout, including text,
background, and background objects. The Preview window can be at the window border
by pressing the Ctrl key and dragging the window to the position of choice.
2. Now open the Styles and Formatting window either by choosing Format > Styles and
Formatting or with the F11 key or opening it if it is docked.
3. The cursor should now be blinking next to the small icon for slide 1.
4. Enter the desired text, for example First Page. This will be the title for slide 1.
5. Press the Enter key. This displays a small icon for slide 2 in the next line of the
Outline view.
6. Enter a title for the second slide, for example, Second Page.
7. Press the Enter key again to get the small icon for slide 3.
8. Now press the Tab key before entering any text. This action ensures that the text entered
here will be a subtitle on slide 2.
9. Continue to enter more subtitles of the first level on page two.
10.Pressing Shift + Tab moves one level up. Thus enabling the user to make a new slide
out of a first level sub-topic.
The levels created by following these steps automatically contain the Presentation Styles title,
outline 1, outline 2, et cetera. These Styles can be modified by having a new slide
design assigned to them, for example, a new font, font size and font colour. These designs
can, of course, be edited (for example, via the Styles and Formatting window's context
menu).
