00:00	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on LibreOffice Impress - Creating a presentation document and basic formatting.
00:08	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: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:29	Let's open our presentation “Sample Impress” that we created in the previous tutorial.
00:35	Let's take a tour of what is on the screen.
00:39	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”.
00:49	Currently the Normal tab is selected.
00:52	This is the main view for creating individual slides.
00:55	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.
01:34	On the right hand side, you see the Tasks pane which has 5 sections.
01:40	The Layouts section has pre-packaged layouts.
01:43	We can use these directly or modify them as per our requirements.
01:48	We should see each of these sections in detail as we progress through the tutorial series.
01:53	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.
02:05	We see that a new blank slide has been inserted after the second slide.
02:10	To add a title to the slide, click on the text bar that says ‘Click to add Title’.
02:17	Now, type: ‘Short Term Strategy’ and click outside the text-box.
02:23	So, a title can be added in this way.
02:26	There are two ways in which we can make a copy of a slide.
02:30	Let’s look at the first way; click on Insert and Duplicate Slide.
02:35	We can see that a new duplicate slide has been inserted after the one we created in the previous step.
02:42	Alternately, go to the slide sorter view by clicking on the Slide Sorter tab in the Workspace pane.
02:50	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.
03:01	Select After and click OK.
03:04	You have now created a copy of the slide at the end of the presentation!
03:10	Now, let’s look at fonts and some of the ways that you can format fonts.
03:15	Select the slide entitled ‘Long term goal’ by double-clicking on it.
03:20	Click on the Body text box and select all the text. Now delete it.
03:26	Now, type the following - "Reduce cost, Reduce dependence on few vendors, Develop customized applications".
03:37	Changing the font type and font size are the same as in LibreOffice Writer documents.
03:43	Select a line of text. In the Text Format tool bar, change the Font type from “Albany” to “Arial Black”.
03:52	And the font size from “32” to “40”.
03:56	Click anywhere outside the text-box.
03:59	Notice that the font has changed.
04:02	We can also change the font by clicking on Format in the main menu and the Character option.
04:09	This opens up a dialog-box in which we can set the Font, Style and Size as per our requirement.
04:16	Let's close this dialog-box.
04:19	To change the color of the font, we will choose the slide entitled ‘Development up to present’.
04:25	Click on the body text-box and select all the text.
04:30	Click on the downward-arrow, next to the font color icon, and select the colour you want.
04:37	Click anywhere outside the text-box.
04:40	Notice the change in the colour.
04:43	Formatting like Bold, Italics and Underline are the same as in LibreOffice Writer documents.
