Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 103983
create "existing slides" list
Last modified: 2009-09-03 11:42:14 UTC
I want to create a new slide show. Help says to create an existing slide list from which to select and insert into slideshow setup. When I try to put (jpg) files into the slide blanks, the program being used automatically changes from presentation to drawing. But drawing does not contain a slide show option. It makes me wonder if this feature is a work in progress by the OpenOffice team. Looking ahead, I will want to add an mp3 file to the slideshow. Will this be possible? What I am describing is essentially a Powerpoint slide show. I have never created a Powerpoint slide show. I have only looked at them using Powerpoint viewer or, as a matter of fact, OpenOffice.
Please give a detailed step by step description of your action - which buttons or dialogs you use, etc.
I think you want to create a new presentation and want to add images and also mp3 files. Follow the steps below which may solve your problem. If you want to add jpg images: 1. Create a blank presentation. 2. Add the number of slides which you want by going to Insert -> Slide or clicking on slide on the toolbar. 3. Now from the existing slide list click the slide where you want to add image. 4. Now click Insert -> Picture -> From File & give the path of .jpg file. Add as many images on the slides as you want. You can click the image and resize or move the image wherever you want. When you want to run the presentation press F5 or click Slide Show from the toolbar. There is an option to add mp3 files too. For that click Insert -> Movie and Sound. Then browse the path of .mp3 file. If you want that not to be seen when you run then right click on sound icon -> Arrange -> Send Backward. If you want to hear the sound then for that you will have to run the presentation. Configuration: Openoffice 3.1.1 OOO310m19 (Build: 9420) OS: Windows Vista Home Premium RAM: 4GB
