01:25 | This tutorial is recorded using

01:33 | LibreOffice Suite version 6.3.5 |
01:39 | By default, the latest Ubuntu Linux OS has LibreOffice Suite pre-installed in it |
01:47 | To install a specific version, refer to the LibreOffice Installation series on this website. |
01:55 | Now let us learn how to open LibreOffice Impress. |
02:01 | In Ubuntu Linux OS, click on the Show Applications icon located at the bottom left corner. |
02:10 | In the search bar, type Impress. |
02:15 | From the displayed list, click on the LibreOffice Impress icon. |
02:21 | In Windows OS, click on the Start Menu icon located at the bottom left corner. |
02:29 | In the search bar, type Impress. |

03:02 | This will open an empty presentation in the main Impress window. |
03:08 | Now let us learn about the main components of the Impress window. |
03:15 | The Impress window has various toolbars. |
03:19 | Title bar, Menu bar, Standard toolbar, Formatting bar, Status bar, and Sidebar. |
03:30 | We will learn more about the toolbars as the series progresses. |
03:37 | We are now ready to work on our first presentation! |
03:42 | Let’s begin by adding some content to the slide. |
03:47 | Click on the textbox that says Click to add Title. |
03:53 | Now type “Benefit of Open Source” inside it and click anywhere outside the textbox. |
04:02 | Next, click on the textbox that says Click to add Text. |
04:08 | Here type “A1 services” inside it and click anywhere outside the textbox. |
04:17 | So, this is how we add content inside a slide. |
04:22 | Now let us save the presentation for future use. |
04:28 | To save the file, click on the Save icon in the Standard toolbar. |
04:34 | A dialog box appears on the screen. |
04:38 | It prompts us to enter the name of our file in the Name field. |
04:44 | I will type the name of the file as “Sample hyphen Impress”. |
04:50 | On the left side, I’ll select Desktop as the location to save my file. |
04:57 | Notice, we have a File type drop-down at the bottom right corner. |
05:03 | Click on this drop-down. |
05:06 | It shows a list of file types or file extensions in which we can save our file. |
05:14 | The default file type in LibreOffice Impress is ODF Presentation (.odp). |
05:23 | ODF stands for Open Document Format which is an open standard. |
05:30 | Click on the Save button at the top right corner of the dialog box. |
05:37 | We will be redirected back to the Impress window. |

06:56 | Next, let’s learn how to save the Impress presentation as an MS PowerPoint presentation. |
07:04 | Click on the File menu in the menu bar and then on the Save As option. |
07:11 | Save As dialog box appears on the screen. |
07:15 | Click on the File type drop-down at the bottom right corner. |
07:20 | We can see dot ppt and dot pptx formats as listed here. |
07:27 | These file formats can be opened later in the MS Office PowerPoint application. |
07:34 | Select PowerPoint 2007 hyphen 365 (.pptx) file format. |
07:43 | Choose the location as Desktop to save the file. |
07:48 | Click on the Save button at the top right corner. |
07:53 | If we save the file in any other file format, Confirm File Format dialog box opens up. |
08:01 | Put a check on “Ask when not saving in ODF or default format” option. |
08:09 | Finally, click on the “Use PowerPoint 2007 hyphen 365 Format button. |
08:18 | The file is now saved as a dot pptx file. |
08:23 | Impress files can also be exported to PDF format. |
