Creating a new presentation
This section describes how to start a new presentation using the Presentation Wizard.
Tip
The first thing to do is decide on the purpose of the presentation and plan the
presentation. Although you can make changes as you go, having an idea of who the
audience will be, the structure, the content, and how the presentation will be
delivered, will save you a lot of time from the start.
Figure 134. Choosing the type of presentation
When you start Impress, the Presentation Wizard appears (Figure 134).
1) Under Type, choose one of the options. These options are covered in the Impress Guide.
a) Empty presentation creates a blank presentation.
b) From template uses a template design already created as the basis for a new
presentation. The wizard changes to show a list of available templates. Choose the
template you want.
