Impress Guide

In the Range section, choose which slides to include in the slide show:
• All slides includes all of the slides except for those marked
Hidden (see “Hiding slides so they do not appear in a show” on
page 205). Slides are shown in the sequence they occur in the
file. To change the sequence, either rearrange the slides in the
slide sorter or choose a custom slide show (see “Showing slides in
a different order” on page 206).
• From: starts the show at a slide other than the first. For example,
you might have several slides at the beginning that describe you
and your company, but when you present this show to your work
colleagues, you want to skip that introduction.
• Custom Slide Show shows the slides in a different sequence that
you have previously set up. This choice is not available until after
you set up a custom slide show (see “Showing slides in a different
order” on page 206). You can set up as many different custom
shows as you wish from one set of slides; they will appear in the
drop-down list under this choice.
In the Type section, choose how the slides will be displayed:
• Default shows the slides full screen, without the OpenOffice.org
program controls visible, and exits the show after the last slide.
• Window runs the slide show in the OpenOffice.org program
window and exits the show after the last slide.
• Auto restarts the slide show after the last slide. A pause slide is
displayed between the last slide and the start slide. Press the Esc
key to stop the show.
In the box under this choice, specify the length of time before the
show restarts. If you enter zero, the show restarts immediately
without showing a pause slide.
To display the OpenOffice.org logo on the pause slide, select the
Show logo checkbox. The logo cannot be changed.
In the Options section:
• Change slides manually prevents slides from changing
automatically. This choice overrides the Auto selection under
Type .
• Mouse pointer visible shows the mouse pointer during a slide
show. If you do not have a laser pointer or other device, this can
be quite useful.
• Mouse pointer as pen enables you to write or draw on slides
during the presentation. Anything you write with the pen is not
