00:00 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Impress - Creating a presentation document and basic formatting.
00:09 In this tutorial, we will learn about-The parts of the Impress window and

How to: insert slides, copy slides, about fonts and formatting of fonts.

00:21 Here we are using GNU Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:30 Let's open our presentation “Sample Impress” that we created in the previous tutorial.
00:36 Let's take a tour of what is on the screen.
00:40 In the centre, we see the workspace which is our working area.
00:44 As you can see, the “Workspace” has 5 tabs called the View buttons.
00:50 Currently the Normal tab is selected.
00:53 This is the main view for creating individual slides.
00:56 The Outline view shows topic titles, bulleted and numbered lists for each slide in outline format.
01:03 The Notes view lets you add notes to each slide that are not seen when the presentation is shown.
01:10 The Handout view allows to print the slides for a handout.
01:14 Here, we can choose the number of slides that we want to print per page.
01:19 The Slide Sorter view shows thumbnails of the slides.
01:23 Let's click on the Normal view button again.
01:26 On the left hand side of the screen, you see the “Slides” pane. It contains thumbnails of the slides in the presentation.
01:35 On the right hand side, you see the “Tasks” pane which has 5 sections.
01:41 The Layouts section has pre-packaged layouts.
01:44 We can use these directly or modify them as per our requirements.
01:49 We should see each of these sections in detail as we progress through the tutorial series.
01:55 Now, let's learn how to insert a slide. Select the second slide, in the “Slides” pane, by clicking on it.
02:02 Now we click on Insert and Slide.
02:06 We see that a new blank slide has been inserted after the second slide.
02:11 To add a title to the slide, click on the text bar that says Click to add Title.
02:18 Now, type: "Short Term Strategy" and click outside the text-box.
02:24 So, a title can be added in this way.
02:27 There are two ways in which we can make a copy of a slide.
02:31 Let’s look at the first way- Click on Insert and Duplicate Slide.
02:36 We can see that a new duplicate slide has been inserted after the one we created in the previous step.
02:43 Alternately, go to the slide sorter view by clicking on the Slide Sorter tab in the “Workspace” pane.
02:51 Now, copy the 7th slide by right-clicking on it and selecting Copy from the context menu.
02:58 Right-click on the last slide and select Paste.
03:02 Select After and click OK.
03:05 You have now created a copy of the slide at the end of the presentation!
03:11 Now, let’s look at fonts and some of the ways that you can format fonts.
03:16 Select the slide titled Long term goal by double-clicking on it.
03:21 Click on the Body text-box and select all the text. Now delete it.
03:27 Now, type the following: "Reduce cost, Reduce dependence on few vendors, Develop customized applications".
03:38 Changing the font type and font size are the same as in LibreOffice Writer documents.
03:44 Select a line of text. In the Text Format tool bar, change the Font type from “Albany” to “Arial Black”
03:53 and the font-size from “32” to “40”.
03:57 Click anywhere outside the text-box.
04:00 Notice that the font has changed.
04:03 We can also change the font by clicking on Format in the main menu and the Character option.
04:10 This opens up a dialog-box in which we can set the Font, Style and Size as per our requirement.
04:17 Let's close this dialog-box.
04:20 To change the color of the font, we will choose the slide titled "Development up to present".
04:26 Click on the body text box and select all the text.
04:31 Click on the downward-arrow next to the font color icon and select the colour you want.
04:38 Click anywhere outside the text-box.
04:41 Notice the change in the colour.
04:44 Formatting like Bold, Italics and Underline are the same as in LibreOffice Writer documents.
04:51 Select the slide titled "Recommendations".
04:54 Click on the Body text-box and select a line of text.
04:59 Now click on the Bold, Italics and Underline icons.
05:04 Click anywhere outside the text-box.
05:07 Notice the change in the text.
05:09 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
