Operation Manual

Workspace views
Each of the workspace views is designed to ease the completion of certain tasks. It is therefore
useful to familiarize yourself with them in order to accomplish those tasks quickly.
Note
Each Workspace view displays a different set of toolbars when selected. These toolbar
sets can be customized by going to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar, then check or
uncheck the toolbar you want to add or remove.
Normal view
Normal view is the main view for working with individual slides. Use this view to format and design
and to add text, graphics, and animation effects.
To place a slide in the slide design area (Normal view) (Figure 130 on page 157), click the slide
thumbnail in the Slides pane or double-click it in the Navigator (see Chapter 1 Introducing
LibreOffice and the Impress Guide for more information on the Navigator).
Outline view
Outline view (Figure 132) contains all the slides of the presentation in their numbered sequence. It
shows topic titles, bulleted lists, and numbered lists for each slide in outline format. Only the text
contained in the default text boxes in each slide is shown, so if your slide includes other text boxes
or drawing objects, the text in these objects is not displayed. Slide names are not included either.

Use Outline view for the following purposes:
• Making changes in the text of a slide:
– Add and delete the text in a slide just as in the Normal view.
– Move the paragraphs of text in the selected slide up or down by using the up and down
arrow buttons (Move Up or Move Down) on the Text Formatting toolbar (highlighted in
Figure 133).
– Change the outline level for any of the paragraphs in a slide using the left and right
arrow buttons (Promote or Demote) on the Text Formatting toolbar.
– Move a paragraph and change its outline level at the same time using a combination of
these four arrow buttons.
