Time	Narration
00:00	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Slide Master and Slide design in LibreOffice Impress.
00:08	In this tutorial, we will learn how to apply: Backgrounds for slides Layouts for slides.
00:15	Here, we are using: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:24	Background refers to all the colors and effects applied to the slide which are present behind the content.
00:32	LibreOffice Impress has many background options that help you create better presentations.
00:38	You can even create your own custom backgrounds.
00:42	Let’s open the presentation "Sample-Impress.odp".
00:48	Let’s create a custom background for our presentation.
00:52	We shall also apply this background to all the slides in the presentation.
00:57	We shall use the Slide Master option to create this background.
01:02	Any change made to the Master slide is applied to all the slides in the presentation.
01:08	From the Main menu, click View, select Master and click on Slide Master.
01:15	The Master Slide appears.
01:17	Notice that the Master View toolbar is also visible. You can use this to create, delete and rename Master Pages.
01:27	Notice that two slides are displayed now.
01:31	These are two Master Pages that have been used in this presentation.
01:37	From the Tasks pane, click on Master Pages.
01:41	The Used in This Presentation field displays the Master slides used in this presentation.
01:48	The Master slide is like a template.
01:51	You can set formatting preferences here which are then applied to all the slides in the presentation.
01:58	First, from the Slides pane, let’s select Slide 1.
02:03	Let’s apply a white background to this presentation.
02:07	From the Main menu, click on Format and click Page.
02:12	The Page Setup dialog-box appears.
02:15	Click the Background tab.
02:18	From the Fill drop-down menu, select the option Bitmap.
02:24	From the list of options, select Blank and click OK.
02:29	The slide now has a white background.
02:32	Notice that the existing text color doesn’t show up very well against the background.
02:38	Always choose a color that is visible distinctly against its background.
02:43	Let’s change the color of the text to black. This will make the text clearly visible against the white background.
02:52	First select the text.
02:55	From the Main menu, click Format and select Character.
02:59	The Character dialog-box appears.
03:02	From the Character dialog-box, click Font Effects tab.
03:08	From the Font Color drop-down, select Black.
03:12	Click OK.
03:15	The text is now black in color.
03:18	Now, let’s apply a color to the slide.
03:21	Right-click on the slide for the context menu and click Slide and Page Setup.
03:27	From the Fill drop-down menu, select the option Color. Select Blue 8 and click OK.
03:36	Notice that the light blue color we selected, is applied to the slide.
03:42	Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. Create a new Master Slide and apply the color red as the background.
03:52	Let’s now learn how to add other design elements to this presentation.
03:57	For example, you can add a logo to your presentation.
04:01	Look at the Basic Shapes toolbar in the bottom of your screen.
04:06	You can use it to draw a variety of basic shapes such as circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and ovals.
04:16	Let’s draw a rectangle in the Title area of the slide.
04:21	From the Basic Shapes toolbar, click on Rectangle.
04:25	Now, move the cursor to the top left corner of the slide, in the Title area.
04:31	You will see a plus sign with a capital 'I'.
04:36	Hold the left mouse button and drag to draw a small rectangle.
04:41	Now, release the mouse-button.
04:44	You have drawn a rectangle!
04:47	Notice the eight handles on the rectangle.
04:50	Handles or control points are the small blue squares that appear on the sides of the selected object.
04:58	We can use these control points to adjust the size of the rectangle.
05:03	As you hover your cursor over the control point, the cursor changes to a double-sided arrow.
05:10	This indicates the directions in which the control point can be moved to manipulate the basic shapes.
05:17	Let’s enlarge this rectangle so that it covers the title area completely.
05:25	We can format these shapes too!
05:28	Right-click on the rectangle to view the context menu.
05:32	Here, you can choose various options to modify the rectangle.
05:37	Click on Area. The Area dialog-box appears.
05:43	In the Fill field, from the drop-down menu, choose Color.
05:48	Choose Magenta 4 and click OK.
05:52	The color of the rectangle has changed.
05:56	The rectangle has now covered the text.
05:59	To make the text visible, first select the rectangle.
06:03	Now, right-click to open the context menu.
06:07	Click on Arrange and then Send to back.
06:11	The text is visible again!
06:15	Here the rectangle has moved behind the text.
06:18	In the Tasks pane, click on the preview of the Master Page.
06:23	Right-click and select Apply to All Slides.
06:27	Close the Master View by clicking on the Close Master View button.
06:32	The formatting changes made in the Master are applied to all the slides in the presentation now.
06:39	Notice that the rectangle is also displayed in all the pages.
06:45	Let us learn to change the layout of the slide.
06:49	What are Layouts? Layouts are slide templates that are pre-formatted for position of content with place holders.
06:58	To view the slide layouts, from the right panel, click Layouts.
07:04	The layouts available in Impress are displayed.
07:07	Look at the layout thumbnails. It gives you an idea of how the slide will appear after the layout has been applied.
07:16	There are layouts with the titles and two-columnar formats, layouts where you can position text in three columns and so on.
07:24	There are also blank layouts. You can apply a blank layout to your slide and then create your own layouts.
07:32	Let’s apply a layout to a slide.
07:35	Select the slide "Potential Alternatives" and delete all text.
07:43	Now, from the Layouts pane on the right hand side, select Title, 2 Content over Content.
07:51	The slide now has three text-boxes and a title area.
07:56	Notice that the rectangle we inserted using the Master page, is still visible.
08:02	This rectangle can only be edited using the Master slide.
08:07	The settings in the Master slide override any formatting changes or layouts applied to slides.
08:15	Let’s enter content in these boxes now.
08:19	In the first text box, type: "Strategy 1 PRO: Low cost CON: slow action".
08:28	In the second text-box, type: "Strategy 2 CON: High cost PRO: Fast Action".
08:40	In the third text-box, type: "Due to lack of funds, Strategy 1 is better".
08:48	You can similarly choose the layout type that is most suited to your presentation.
08:54	This concludes this tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt how to apply Backgrounds for slides, Layouts for slides.
