Modifying the slide elements

At present each slide will contain only the elements that are present in the slide

master you are using such as background images, logos, header, footer and so on. It

is however unlikely that the predefined layouts will suit all your needs. Although

Impress does not have the functionality to create new layouts, it allows you to resize

and move the layout elements. It is also possible to add slide elements without being

limited to the size and position of the layout boxes.

To resize a contents box, click on the outer frame so that the 8 resizing handles are

displayed. To move it place the mouse cursor on the frame so that the cursor changes

shape. You can now click the left mouse button and drag the contents box to its new

position on the slide.

Caution

Changes to any of the pre-packaged layouts can only be made using

View > Normal, which is the default. Attempting to do this by

modifying a slide master, although possible, may result in unpredictable

results and requires extra care as well as a certain amount of trial and

error.

At this step you may also want to remove unwanted frames. To do this:

• Click the element to highlight it. (The green squares show it is highlighted.)

• Press the Delete key to remove it.

Adding text to a slide

If the slide contains text, click on Click to add an outline in the text frame and then

type your text. The Outline styles from 1 to 10 are automatically applied to the text as

you insert it. You can change the outline level of each paragraph as well as its

position within the text using the arrow buttons on the Text Formatting toolbar. See

“Adding and formatting text” on page 159 for more information.

Modifying the appearance of all slides

To change the background and other characteristics of all slides in the presentation,

it is best to modify the slide master or choose a different slide master as explained in

the section Working with slide masters and styles on page 166.

If all you need to do is to change the background, you can take a shortcut:

1) Select Format > Page and go to the Background tab.

2) Select the desired background between solid color, gradient, hatching and

bitmap.

3) Click OK to apply it.

A dialog box will open asking if the background should be applied to all the slides. If

you click yes, Impress will automatically modify the slide master for you.

Note

Inserting and correctly formatting a background is beyond the scope of

this chapter, but you can find all the information you need in Chapter 4

of the Draw Guide or in Chapter 6 of the Impress Guide.
