| 00:32 | This tutorial is recorded using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 18.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 6.3.5 |
| 00:46 | Let's open the presentation “Sample hyphen Impress dot odp” which we created earlier. |
| 00:55 | This file has been provided to you in the Code files link on this tutorial page |
| 01:02 | Please download and extract the file |
| 01:05 | Make a copy and then use it for practicing |
| 01:10 | Let's take a closer look at the Impress window. |
| 01:14 | In the centre, we see the Workspace, which is our working area. |
| 01:20 | We can customize the view of the Workspace based on our preferences. |
| 01:26 | To do so, click on the View menu in the menu bar. |
| 01:31 | Then select the View Tab Bar option. |
| 01:36 | At the top, the Workspace has 4 tabs called ‘View buttons’. |
| 01:42 | By default, the Normal tab is selected. |
| 01:46 | This is the main view for creating individual slides. |
| 01:51 | Outline tab shows topic titles, bulleted, and numbered lists for each slide in outline format. |
| 02:00 | Notes tab lets you add notes to each slide. |
| 02:05 | These notes are not seen when the presentation is shown. |
| 02:10 | Slide Sorter tab shows thumbnails of slides. |
| 02:15 | Let’s click on the Normal tab again. |
| 02:18 | Another way to access these is by clicking on the Display Views icon in the Standard toolbar. |
| 02:26 | Here, we can see various icons indicating different views of the Workspace. |
| 02:33 | On the left-hand side of the screen is the Slides Pane. |
| 02:38 | It contains thumbnails of the slides in the presentation. |
| 02:43 | On the right-hand side is the Sidebar,
It has 7 sections. |
| 02:50 | In the Sidebar, click on the first section named ‘Properties’ |
| 02:56 | It has a property named “Layouts” |
| 03:00 | This has various built-in layouts. |
| 03:04 | We can use these layouts directly or modify them as per our requirements. |
| 03:11 | We shall see each of these sections in detail as we progress through the series. |
| 03:18 | Let’s close the Properties section. |
| 03:21 | To do so, click on ‘x’ at the top right corner of the Properties section. |
| 03:28 | Now, let’s add some content to the 2nd empty slide. |
| 03:33 | Click on the 2nd slide in the Slides Pane. |
| 03:37 | Click on the textbox that says ‘Click to add Title’ and type “Overview” inside it. |
| 03:46 | Then click on the textbox that says ‘Click to add Text’.
And type the following text: |
| 03:55 | Summarize the main plans
Explain the long term course to follow. |
| 04:02 | Let us add bullet points to the content in the Body textbox. |
| 04:07 | So first select all sentences by pressing Ctrl + A keys. |
| 04:14 | Then click on the Properties section. |
| 04:18 | Go to the Lists property and click on the “Toggle Bulleted List” icon. |
| 04:26 | Let’s close the Properties section. |
| 04:29 | Notice the change in the text. |
| 04:33 | Now, let's learn how to insert a new slide into the presentation. |
| 04:39 | There are two ways in which we can insert a slide. |
| 04:43 | Let’s look at the first way. |
| 04:46 | Select slide 2 in the Slides Pane, by clicking on it. |
| 04:51 | If you have resized your LibreOffice window, some of the icons may not be visible. |
| 04:58 | In that case, click on the double arrow icon at the end of the toolbars to see the hidden icons |
| 05:06 | Click on the New Slide icon in the Standard Toolbar. |
| 05:11 | A new blank slide gets inserted after slide 2. |
| 05:17 | Let me show you another way to add a new slide. |
| 05:22 | Click on the Slide menu in the menu bar
And then on the New Slide option. |
| 05:29 | Once again we see that a new blank slide has been inserted. |
| 05:35 | Let's add some content into these empty slides. |
| 05:40 | Select the slide 3 in the Slides Pane. |
| 05:44 | Click on the textbox ‘Click to add title’ and type “Short Term Strategy” inside it. |
| 05:52 | Likewise, set the title for the 4th slide as “Long Term Goal”. |
| 05:59 | Now, let us learn how to copy a slide. |
| 06:03 | There are two ways in which we can make a copy of a slide. |
| 06:08 | Let’s look at the first way. |
| 06:11 | Select slide 3 in the Slides Pane, by clicking on it. |
| 06:16 | Click on the Duplicate Slide icon in the Standard Toolbar. |
| 06:21 | A new duplicate slide gets inserted after slide 3. |
| 06:26 | Alternatively, click on the Slide menu in the menu bar
And then on the Duplicate Slide option. |
| 06:35 | Once again, we see that a new duplicate slide has been inserted. |
| 06:41 | Now, let’s learn about fonts and how to format fonts. |
| 06:46 | Click on the slide titled ‘Overview’ in the Slides Pane. |
| 06:52 | Click on the Body textbox and select the second line of text. |
| 06:58 | Go to the Sidebar and click on the Properties icon. |
| 07:03 | In the ‘Character’ property, change the Font name to “Carlito”. |
| 07:09 | Then change the Font size from “26” to “32”. |
| 07:15 | Notice that the font has changed as per our selection. |
| 07:20 | Next, let’s change the color of the font. |
| 07:24 | Click on the Body textbox and select all the text by pressing Ctrl+A keys. |
| 07:32 | In the Character property, go to the Font Color icon. |
| 07:37 | Then click on the drop-down arrow next to it and select any color that you like. |
| 07:44 | I’m selecting Teal color. |
| 07:48 | Notice the change in color in the text. |
| 07:52 | Now, click on the Title textbox and select the entire text. |
| 07:58 | Go to the Character property again.
The text is already in bold. |
| 08:04 | Now, let’s click on the icons for Italics and Underline. |
| 08:11 | Notice the change in the text. |
| 08:15 | Finally, we will learn to delete a slide from the presentation.
There are 2 ways to do this. |
| 08:23 | First way is to select a slide, say slide 5 in the Slide Pane. |
| 08:30 | Then click on the Delete Slide icon in the Standard toolbar. |
| 08:35 | Second way is to select a slide, say slide 4 in the Slide Pane. |
| 08:42 | Click on the Delete key on the keyboard to delete this slide. |
| 08:48 | Let us save all the changes we made in our presentation by clicking on the Save icon.
And then close the file. |
| 08:58 | With this, we have come to the end of this spoken tutorial.
