00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Viewing a Presentation. |
00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn about: |
00:10 | View options and their uses |
00:14 | Master slide |
00:16 | Layouts for the slide |
00:19 | This tutorial is recorded using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 18.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 6.3.5 |
00:33 | Let's open the presentation Sample hyphen Impress dot odp which we saved earlier. |
00:41 | This file has been provided to you in the Code files link on this tutorial page |
00:48 | Please download and extract the file |
00:52 | Make a copy and then use it for practicing |
00:57 | LibreOffice Impress has many View options that help to create a good presentation. |
01:04 | This is the Normal view. |
01:07 | If the presentation is in any other view, return to the Normal view by clicking on the Normal tab. |
01:15 | Let’s learn how to change the design of the slides. |
01:20 | Click on the slide titled Overview in the Slides Pane. |
01:25 | Go to the Sidebar on the right-hand side. |
01:29 | Click on the section named as Master Slides. |
01:34 | Under Master Slides, there are 3 sections. |
01:38 | Used in This presentation.
Recently Used and Available for Use. |
01:46 | The slide design used in this particular presentation is seen in Used in This presentation.
Let’s change this now. |
01:57 | From the Available for Use section, select any slide design of your choice.
I’m selecting the Classy Red slide design. |
02:08 | Notice the change in the design of the slide in the Workspace.
See, how easy it is to change the slide design. |
02:18 | Close the Master Slides section by clicking on the ‘X’ on the top right corner. |
02:25 | Next, we will see the Outline view. |
02:29 | Click on the Outline tab in the Workspace. |
02:33 | Alternatively, we can see the Outline view by clicking on the View menu in the menu bar. |
02:41 | Then click on the Outline option. |
02:45 | In the Outline view, all slides are arranged one below the other just like a Table of Contents. |
02:53 | Each slide in the Workspace appears as a thumbnail with the slide number on the left.
And the slide Heading appears next to the thumbnail. |
03:06 | Notice that the Overview slide heading is highlighted. |
03:12 | That indicates we were on the Overview slide when we selected the Outline tab. |
03:18 | Notice these black dots before each sentence in the form of bullet points. |
03:25 | When you hover the mouse over these bullet points, the cursor turns into a hand. |
03:32 | Let’s learn how to move a line item up or down to rearrange them within a slide. |
03:40 | Select the line item “Explain the long term course to follow” in the Overview slide. |
03:47 | Go to the Formatting bar at the top left. |
03:51 | Click on the Up arrow icon named as “Move Up”. |
03:56 | Notice that the selected line item moved one level up. |
04:02 | Again go to the Formatting bar at the top left. |
04:07 | Click on the Down arrow icon named “Move Down”. |
04:12 | Notice that the selected line item moved one level down. |
04:18 | We can also move selected line items across slides. |
04:23 | In the Formatting bar, once again click on the Down arrow icon. |
04:29 | Notice the selected line item now moved to the slide titled “Short Term Strategy” |
04:37 | Let us undo these changes by pressing CTRL + Z keys. |
04:44 | Our presentation appears in its original form again. |
04:49 | Next, we will use the Slide Sorter view to rearrange the slides. |
04:56 | Click on the Slide Sorter tab in the Workspace. |
05:01 | Alternatively, you can see the Slide Sorter view by clicking on the View menu in the menu bar.
Then click on the Slide Sorter option. |
05:13 | This view is useful to sort the slides in the desired order. |
05:19 | Click on slide number 3 and drag the slide before slide number 2 |
05:26 | Now click anywhere in the Slide Sorter view. |
05:30 | Notice that both slides get rearranged! |
05:35 | Let us undo these changes also. |
05:39 | Next, we will see the Notes view. |
05:43 | Click on the Notes tab in the Workspace. |
05:47 | Alternatively, we can see the Notes view by clicking on the View menu in the menu bar.
Then click on the Notes option. |
05:58 | In the Notes view, we can write notes that will help us during our presentation. |
06:05 | Click on the “Click to add Notes” textbox below the slide on the Workspace. |
06:12 | Type some text inside it like I am doing here. |
06:17 | Now click anywhere outside the textbox. |
06:22 | When our slides are viewed on a projector, we will still be able to see our notes on our monitor |
06:30 | But our audience won’t see them on the projector screen |
06:36 | Now let’s click on the Normal tab again. |
06:40 | We can either show or hide the Sidebar on the right-hand side of Impress window. |
06:47 | To do so, click on the View menu in the menu bar. |
06:52 | Then check or uncheck the Sidebar option. |
06:57 | This will show or hide the sidebar on the right hand side accordingly. |
07:04 | Next, let’s learn how to change the layout of a slide. |
07:09 | Click on the Properties section from the Sidebar and then go to the Layouts property. |
07:17 | Then go to Title, Content over Content layout and click on it. |
07:25 | This changes the layout of the slide. |
07:29 | Alternatively, click on the Slide Layout icon drop-down in Standard Toolbar. |
07:36 | By clicking on any of the layouts, you can change the layout of the slide. |
07:43 | Let us save all the changes we made in our presentation by clicking on the Save icon.
And then close the file. |
07:53 | With this, we have come to the end of this spoken tutorial.
