Operation Manual

Duplicate slide
Sometimes, rather than starting from a new slide you may want to duplicate a slide already
included in your presentation. To duplicate a slide:
1) Select the slide you want to duplicate from the Slides Pane.
2) Go to Slide on the Menu bar and select Duplicate Page/Slide.
Or, right-click on the slide in the Slides Pane or Slide Sorter view and select Duplicate
Slide from the context menu.
Or, right-click on a slide in the Workspace and select Slide > Duplicate Slide from the
context menu.
Or, click on the triangle to the right of the Slide icon in the Presentation toolbar and select
Duplicate Page/Slide from the context menu. If the Presentation toolbar is not visible, go
to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar and select Presentation from the list.
3) A duplicate slide is inserted after the selected slide in the presentation.
Selecting slide layout
When creating a presentation, the first slide is normally a title slide. You can use either a blank
layout or one of the title layouts as your title slide.
Click on the Properties icon at the side of the Sidebar to open Layouts section and display
the available layouts (Figure 145). The layouts included in LibreOffice range from a blank slide to a
slide with six contents boxes and a title.
Figure 145: Available slide layouts
To create a title, if one of the title layouts has been selected, click on Click to add title and then type
the title text. To add text content, depending on the slide layout selected, click on Click to add text.
To adjust the formatting of the title, subtitle or content modify the presentation style; see the
Impress Guide Chapter 2 Using Slide Masters, Styles, and Templates.
Note
Text and graphical elements can be readjusted at any time during the preparation of
the presentation, but changing the layout of a slide that already contains some content
can have an effect on the content format. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay
particular attention to the layout you select to prevent any loss of content.
