Getting Started Guide

Note
The Screen page is optimized for a 4:3 display (28cm x 21cm) so it is not
suitable for modern widescreen displays. You can change the slide size
at any time switching to Normal view and selecting Format > Page.
5) Click Next. The Presentation Wizard step 3 appears.
Figure 141: Selecting a slide design
• Choose the desired slide transition from the Effect drop-down menu.
• Select the desired speed for the transition between the different slides in
the presentation from the Speed drop-down menu. Medium is a good
choice for now.
6) Click Create. A new presentation is created.
Tip
You might want to accept the default values for both Effect and Speed
unless you are skilled at doing this. Both of these values can be
changed later while working with Slide transitions and animations.
These two features are explained in more detail in Chapter 9 of the
Impress Guide.
Note
If you selected From template on step 1 of the Wizard, the Next button
will be active on step 3 and other pages will be available. These pages
are not described here.
Caution
Remember to save frequently while working on the presentation, to
prevent any loss of information should something unexpected occur.
You might also want to activate the AutoRecovery function
(Tools > Options > Load/Save > General). Make sure Save
AutoRecovery information every is selected and that you have
entered a recovery frequency.
