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 Formating a fonts. |
00:21 | Here we are using Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
00:29 | Lets open our presentation “Sample Impress” that we created in the previous tutorial. |
00:35 | Lets 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 | Lets 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, lets 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 | Lets 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. |

04:43 | Formatting like Bold, Italics and Underline are the same as in LibreOffice Writer documents. |
