Operation Manual

3) The Bullets and Numbering dialog (Figure 152) contains five pages: Bullets, Numbering
type, Image, Position, and Customize.
– If a bullet list is needed, select the desired bullet style from the default styles available
on the Bullets page.
– If a graphics style is needed, select one from those available on the Image page.
– If a numbered list is needed, select one of the default numbering styles on the
Numbering type page.
– Use the Position page to set the indent and numbering spacing and alignment of your
list.
– Use the Customize page to customize the numbering, color, relative size, and character
used for your list.
4) For a single list entry, click anywhere in the text and then follow steps 2 and 3 above.
If the list was created in an AutoLayout text box, then an alternative way to change the entire list is
to modify the Outline styles. Changes made to the outline style will apply to all the slides using
them.
Adding pictures, tables, charts, and media
A contents box can contain pictures, tables, charts, or media as well as text. This section provides
a quick overview of how to work with these objects. For more information on adding pictures,
tables, charts, or media, please refer to the Impress Guide.
Adding pictures
To add a picture to a contents box:
1) Go to Insert > Image on the Menu bar and then select either From file or Scan.
2) Alternatively, after inserting a new slide, click the Insert Image icon (Figure 145 on page
169) on the new slide and select the file from the Insert Image dialog that opens. To see a
preview of the picture, select Preview at the bottom of the Insert Image dialog.
3) Move the picture to the desired location.
4) The picture will automatically resize to fill the area of the contents box. Follow the directions
in the note below when manually resizing a graphic.
Note
When resizing a graphic, right-click the picture. Select Position and Size from the
context menu and make sure that Keep ratio is selected. Then adjust the height or
width to the size you need. As you adjust one dimension, both dimensions will change
to keep the width and height ratio the same. Failure to do so will cause the picture to
become distorted. Remember also that resizing a bitmap image will reduce its quality; it
is better to create an image of the desired size outside of Impress.
Adding tables
To add basic tables to a slide:
1) Go to Insert > Table on the Menu bar, or click the Table icon on the Standard toolbar.
