Operation Manual

Presentation styles affect three elements of a slide master: background, background objects (such
as icons, decorative lines, and text frames), and text placed on the slide. Text styles are further
divided into Notes, Outline 1 through Outline 9, Subtitle, and Title. The outline styles are used for
the different levels of the outline to which they belong. For example, Outline 2 is used for the sub-
points of Outline 1, and Outline 3 is used for the sub-points of Outline 2, and so on.
Image styles are not restricted and can affect many of the elements of a slide. Note that text styles
exist in both the presentation and image style selections.
Slide masters
Impress comes with a collection of slide masters. These slide masters are shown in the Master
Pages section of the Sidebar (Figure 155) and has three subsections: Used in This Presentation,
Recently Used, and Available for Use. Click the + sign next to the name of a subsection to expand
it to show thumbnails of the slides, or click the – sign to collapse the subsection to hide the
thumbnails.
Each of the slide masters shown in the Available for Use list is from a template of the same name.
If you have created your own templates, or added templates from other sources, slide masters
from those templates will also appear in this list.
