Figure 161: Inserting comments

You can move the small comment markers to anywhere you wish on the slide. Typically you might

place it on or near an object you refer to in the comment.

To show or hide the comment markers, choose View > Comments.

Select Tools > Options > User Data to configure the name you want to appear in the comment.

If more than one person edits the document, each author is automatically allocated a different

background color for their comments.

Setting up a slide show

As mentioned in “Modifying the slide show” on page 170, Impress allocates reasonable default

settings for slide shows, while at the same time allowing for customizing many aspects of the slide

show experience. This section covers only some aspects and more advanced techniques are

explained in the Impress Guide Chapter 9 Slide Shows.

Most of the tasks are best done in Slide Sorter view where you can see most of the slides

simultaneously. Go to View > Slide Sorter on the Menu bar or click the Slide Sorter tab at the top

of the Workspace.

One slide set – multiple presentations

In many situations, you may find that you have more slides than the time available to present them

or you may want to provide a rapid overview without dwelling on the details. Rather than having to

create a new presentation, you can use two tools that Impress offers: hiding slides and custom

slide shows.

Hiding slides

1) Select the slide you want to hide in the Slide Pane or Slide Sorter view on the Workspace

area.

2) Go to Slide Show > Hide Slide on the Menu bar or right-click on the slide thumbnail and

select Hide Slide from the context menu. Hidden slides are marked by a diagonal bars
