Time Narration
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.
04:50 Select the slide entitled ‘Recommendations’.
04:53 Click on the Body text-box and select a line of text.
04:58 Now click on the Bold, Italics and Underline icons.
05:03 Click anywhere outside the text-box.
05:06 Notice the change in the text.
05:08 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
