Note

Unlike in Writer, where it is recommended to try to use styles whenever

possible, in Impress manual formatting needs to be used more often. This

is because presentation styles are fixed; therefore it is not possible, for

example, to have two different level 1’s or different types of bullet points

for the same outline level.

Also, the lack of support for character styles forces the use of manual

formatting to modify sections of the text.

Selecting text

Text must be selected before it can be formatted.

• To format all the text in a text box, click once on the text, then click once on

the border of the text box. The green resizing handles are displayed. Now any

formatting changes will apply to all the text in the text box.

• To format only part of the text, click once on the text, then select the text to be

formatted by clicking and dragging (highlighting) over it. You can also use

keyboard combinations to select text: move the cursor where you want to

begin your selection, press Shift and then use the arrow buttons to extend your

selection. Formatting changes will apply only to the selected text.

Tip

To select text word by word, instead of by character, press the Control

key and Shift key together. To speed up the selection even further, you

can combine the Shift key with the Home key or the End key to extend

the selection up to the start or end of the line in which the cursor is

positioned, respectively.

Using styles to format text

Impress has two categories of styles: presentation styles and graphics styles.

Presentation styles are used on text inserted into an AutoLayout area, slide master

backgrounds, and background objects. However, for text inserted in a text box or a

graphic object, you need to apply a graphic style.

In this chapter we focus mostly on Presentation styles. For information on graphic

styles, see Chapter 6 (Formatting Graphic Objects).

Modifying a presentation style

To modify a presentation style, follow these steps:

1) Open the Styles and Formatting window by pressing F11 or selecting

Format > Styles and Formatting from the menu bar.

2) Select the style category by clicking on either the Presentation Styles icon

at the top of the Style and Formatting window.

3) Right-click on the style to be modified and select Modify from the pop-up

menu.

The top portion of the dialog box for a presentation style is shown in Figure 33.
