00.16 You use Slide Shows to present slides before an audience.
00.21 'Slide-show's can be shown on desktops or projectors.
00.25 Slide-shows occupy the entire computer screen.
00.30 Presentations cannot be edited in the slide-show mode.
00.34 Slide-shows are for display only.
00.38 Open the presentation Sample-Impress.odp.
00.43 Let’s view this presentation as a Slide-Show.
00.47 From the Main menu, click on Slide Show and then on Slide Show.
00.53 Alternately, you can use the function key 'F5' to start the slide-show.
01.00 The presentation is displayed as a slide-show.
01.04 You can navigate between the slides by using the arrow-buttons on your keyboard.

02.06 Again, from the Main menu, click Slide Show and then on Slide Show.
02.13 Notice that the cursor has now turned into a pen.
02.17 This option allows you to write or draw on the presentation while it is in slide-show mode.
02.24 When you press the left mouse button, you can sketch with the pen.
02.29 Let’s draw a tick mark against the first point.
02.34 Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.
02.38 Use the sketch pen to draw a small diagram on an Impress slide.
02.47 Now, left-click on the mouse button. The next slide is displayed.
02.52 You can also advance to the next slide when you press the Space bar.
02.57 Let’s exit the slide show. Right-click for the context menu and click End Show.
03.05 Next, let’s learn about Slide Transitions.
03.09 What are Slide Transitions?
03.12 Transitions are effects that are applied to slides as we move or transition from one slide to the next, in a presentation.
03.22 From the Main pane, click on the Slide Sorter tab.
03.26 All the slides in the presentation are displayed here.
03.31 You can easily change the order of slides, in a presentation, in this view.
03.37 Let’s select slide 1.
03.40 Now, press the left mouse button. Drag and drop the slide in between slides three and four.
03.48 The slides are rearranged.
03.52 Press the Ctrl+Z keys to undo this action.
03.57 You can add different transitions to each slide, in one go.
04.02 From the Slide Sorter view, select the first slide.
04.06 Now, from the Task pane, click on Slide Transitions.
04.13 Under the 'Apply to selected slides', scroll and select Wipe Up.
04.19 Notice that the transition effect is displayed in the Main pane.
04.24 You can control transition speed by choosing the options from the Speed drop-down menu.
04.31 Under Modify Transitions, click on the Speed drop-down box. Click Medium.
04.39 Now, let’s set a sound to the transition.
04.43 Under Modify Transitions, click on the Sound drop-down box. Choose beam.
04.52 Similarly, let’s select the second slide.
04.56 In the Task pane, click on Slide Transitions.
05.00 Under the Apply to selected slides, select wheel clockwise, 4 spokes.
05.08 Now click on the Speed drop-down box. Select Medium.
05.13 Next, click on the Sound drop-down box. Choose applause.
05.21 Now, let us preview the transition effect we have made.
05.25 Click Play.
05.28 We have now learnt how to animate and add a sound-effect to a slide transition.
05.35 Let us now learn how to create a presentation that advances automatically.
05.42 From the Tasks pane, click Slide Transitions.
05.46 In Transition type, select Checkerboard Down.

06.04 Click the radio button Automatically after.
06.09 Select time as 1sec.
06.14 Click on Apply to All Slides
06.18 Note, that clicking on the Apply to All Slides button applies the same transition for all the slides.
06.25 This way we need not add transitions for each slide individually.
06.31 From the Main menu, click on Slide Show and then select Slide Show.
06.38 Notice that the slides advance automatically.
06.49 Let’s press the Escape key to exit the presentation.
06.54 Let us now learn to create presentations that advance automatically but with different display times for each slide.

07.18 Select the second slide.
07.21 Go to the Task pane.
07.24 Under Slide Transitions, go to the Advance slide option.
07.29 In the Automatically after field, enter the time '2 seconds'.
07.37 From the Main pane, select the third slide.
07.42 Go to the Task pane.
7.44 Under Slide Transitions go to the Advance slide option.
07.49 In the Automatically after field enter the time '3 seconds'.
07.57 Let’s select the fourth slide and follow the same steps as for the previous slides. And change the time to 4 seconds.
