Modifying the slide elements
At this stage, the slide consists of everything contained in the slide master, as well as
in the chosen layout slide; you may want to remove unneeded elements and add
objects (such as pictures), as well as insert text.
Caution
Changes to any of the prepackaged layouts should only be made using
View > Normal. Attempting to make changes by modifying a slide
master may result in unpredictable results and requires extra care as
well as a certain amount of trial and error.
1) To add any pictures or objects to the slide. follow these steps:
a) To add a picture to the clipart frame:
i. Double-click the picture within the frame. The Insert picture dialog
box opens.
ii. Browse to the location of the picture you want to include. To see a
preview of the picture, check Preview at the bottom of the Insert
picture dialog box.
iii. Select the picture and click Open.
iv. Resize the picture as necessary. Follow the directions in the Caution
note below.
b) To add pictures from graphic files to places other than the clipart frame:
i. Insert > Picture > From File. The Insert picture dialog box opens.
ii. Browse to the graphic file. To see a preview of the picture, check
Preview at the bottom of the Insert picture dialog box. Select a
picture and click Open.
iii. Move the picture to its location.
iv. Resize the picture, if necessary.
c) To add OLE Objects, refer to Chapter 7 (Including Spreadsheets, Charts,
and Other Objects) where this advanced technique is described.
Caution
When resizing a graphic, right-click the picture. Select Position and
Size from the context menu and make sure that Keep ratio is selected.
Then adjust the height or width to the size you need. (As you adjust one
dimension both dimensions will change.) Failure to do so will cause the
picture to become distorted.
Remember also that resizing a bitmap image will reduce its quality on
screen, even though the original image is unchanged (Impress stores
the original file). A better approach is to create an image of the desired
size outside of Impress and then import it into the presentation.
2) To add text to a slide that contains a text frame, click on Click to add an
outline in the text frame and then type your text. The Outline styles are
automatically applied to the text as you insert it. You can change the outline
level of each paragraph as well as its position within the text by using the
arrow buttons on the Text Formatting toolbar (see “Outline view” on page 13).
3) To remove any element on the slide that is not required, click the element to
select it. The green handles show that it is selected; press the Delete key to
remove it.
