Slide Transitions, Effects and Animation
With Impress, grabbing an audience's attention using animated objects and interesting slide
transitions is easy.
Automatic Slide Transition
When showing a series of slides, use the slide transition effects to present them in an
interesting way. For example, the current slide can roll out of the window while the new
slides rolls in. This effect is called “roll from left”.
The best thing to do is to assign this effect in the Slide View. Simply click on the third icon
from the top in the scroll bar on the right of the presentation window or choose View >
Master View > Slide View.
In the slide view, all slides which have a slide transition effect, have a small button. Click this
button to preview the selected effect.
The Slide Transition window is described in detail in OpenOffice.org Help.
Effects for Objects
The objects in a slide can have various effects, for example, they can roll into the
presentation from the left side, the text can be slowly drawn on screen, et cetera.
1. All these effects can be assigned using the Drawing View (View >
Master > Drawing).
2. Access the Effects window, i.e. with the Effects icon in the Main toolbar.
3. Select the object to which to apply the effect.
4. Open the Effects window
