For square and rectangular gradients, move the From color to modify the border

(the size of the gradient square or rectangle) and the angle of the gradient shape.

Move the To color to change the center of the gradient.

The same actions can be performed for transparency gradients, with the difference

that the two squares activated by the Transparency icon represent the fully opaque

point (black square) and the fully transparent point (white square).

These icons are grayed out by default and are only activated when an object with

gradient filling, gradient transparency, or both is selected.

In both cases a dashed line connecting two small squares appears on top of the

object. Click outside the object to set the gradient.

Note

Moving the squares will have different effects depending on the type of

gradient. For example, for a linear gradient, the start and end squares of

the gradient will always be situated to either side of the center point of

the object.

Formatting text

Impress provides two dialog boxes related to text formatting: Format > Character

and Format > Text.

To modify formatting such as font and font effects, select the text in the shape

and then go to Format > Character. For more information, see Chapter 3

(Adding and Formatting Text). This section covers the formatting of the overall

shape of text which is added to a line or to a shape.

To add text to an object (a shape or a line):

1) Select the object to which text will be added.

2) With the green resizing handles showing, double-click on the object and wait

for the cursor to become an I-beam or just start typing.

3) Type the text. When finished, click somewhere outside the object or press Esc.

To format the text in a shape:

1) Select the object to which text was added.

2) Select Format > Text or right-click on the shape and select Text from the pop-

up menu. The Text dialog box is displayed.

The top section of the page (Text) offers several options in the form of checkboxes.

Some of the options will be grayed out, depending on the object to which the text will

be attached.

• Select Fit width to text to expand the width of the shape or line if the text is

too long for it.

• Select Word wrap text in shape to start a new line automatically when the

edge of the shape is reached.

• Select Fit height to text to expand the object height whenever it is smaller

than the text (set by default for lines).

• Select Resize shape to fit text to expand a custom shape when the text

inserted in the shape is too large.

• Select Fit to frame to expand the text so that it fills all the available space.

• Select Adjust to contour to make the text follow a curved line.
