3) Choose a design under Select a slide design. The slide design section gives
you two main choices: Presentation Backgrounds and Presentations. Each one
has a list of choices for slide designs. If you want to use one of these other
than <Original>, click it to select it.
• The types of Presentation Backgrounds are shown in Figure 140. By
clicking an item, you will see a preview of the slide design in the Preview
window. Impress contains three choices under Presentations: <Original>,
Introducing a New Product, and Recommendation of a Strategy.
• <Original> is for a blank presentation slide design.
• Both Introducing a New Product and Recommendation of a Strategy have
their own prepackaged slide designs. Each design appears in the Preview
window when its name is clicked.
Note
Introducing a New Product and Recommendation of a Strategy can also
be used to create a presentation by choosing From template in the first
step (Figure 139).
4) Select how the presentation will be used under Select an output medium.
Most often, presentations are created for computer screen display. Select
Screen. You can change the page format at any time.
