Impress Guide

Choosing options that affect all of OOo
This section covers some of the settings that apply to all the
components of OpenOffice.org. Other general options are discussed in
Chapter 2 (Setting Up OpenOffice.org) in the Getting Started guide.
1) Click Tools > Options. The list on the left-hand side varies
depending on which component of OOo is open. The illustrations
in this chapter show the list as it appears when when
OpenOffice.org Impress is open.
2) Click the + sign to the left of OpenOffice.org on the left-hand
side. A list of subsections drops down.
Note
The Back button has the same effect on all pages of the Options
dialog box. It resets the options to the values that were in place
when you opened OpenOffice.org.
User Data options
Impress uses the first and last name stored in the User Data page to
fill in the Created and Modified fields in the document properties, and
the optional Author field often used in the footer of a presentation, so
you will want to ensure that your name appears there. To do this:
1) In the Options dialog box, click OpenOffice.org > User Data.
2) Fill in the form on the OpenOffice.org – User Data page or delete
any existing incorrect information.
Print options
Set the print options to suit your default printer and your most
common printing method. You can change these settings at any time,
either through this dialog box or during the printing process (by
clicking the Options button on the Print dialog box).
In the Options dialog box, click OpenOffice.org > Print.
See Chapter 10 (Printing, e-mailing, exporting, and saving slide shows)
for more about the options on this page.
Color options
On the OpenOffice.org – Colors page (Figure 197), you can specify
colors to use in OOo documents. You can select a color from a color
table, edit an existing color, or define new colors. These colors will
then be available in color selection palettes in all components of OOo.
