Creating a Slideshow

OpenOffice Impress gives you the tools to organize and display a slideshow, including:

• Which slides to show, and in what sequence
• Whether to run the show automatically or manually
• Transitions between slides
• Animations on individual slides
• Interactions: what happens when you click a button or link

Most tasks associated with creating a slideshow are best done in Slide Sorter view. Choose View → Slide Sorter from the menu bar or click the Slide Sorter tab at the top of the workspace. All of your slides appear in the workspace; you may need to scroll to see them all.
