Tablet PC: Feature Request: Ability to annotate/draw while giving presentation
Last modified: 2017-10-16 12:25:14 UTC
I am using OpenOffice on a Tablet PC. My tablet is a slate so nearly all my interaction is with a pen that has left and right click capibility. I would like the ability to annotate with ink (draw) on a presentation while the presentation is in slideshow mode. Currently you can only draw in markup mode. Once the presentation is in slideshow mode a left click moves you to the next screen. The new PowerPoint 2003 allows you to add an annotation overlay on the presentation. For example, as you give the presentation you could circle or underline key words with the pen/mouse to highlight key points and these markups would be immediatly visable to the viewers. At the end of the presentation you have the option of keeping or discarding the annotations.

Hi, I reopened this issue, because I think it contains an useful feature request. Issue 21438 is more or less dead because we can find all "Tablet PC" issues by query. Jeff, I have some questions concerning this issue: Do I understand it correctly, you want to use IMPRESS a little like a blackboard or an overhead projector: You can show a prepared image and add some comments during the presentation? My second question: is that really a feature only missing for Tablet PC? I do not have much knowledge concerning IMPRESS, so I do not know whether it is possible on a "normal PC" to add such comments by keyboard while the presentation is running? Do I understand yo right? yo reyuest something like a double function for the mouseclick like short click: next slide long click: changes to the INK MODE, you can write on the actual slide Rainer

Rainer, I felt that this issue was wrongly discarded so posted an addendum as issue#26137. You have my idea exactly. I would like to use it like a transparency overhead where the presentation slide you created is shown full-screen as normal during a presentation BUT at the same time you can directly markup the screen using the drawing tools. Sort of like putting a overhead underneath the plastic transparency and writing on top without changing the overhead. This is not only an issue regarding tablet pc's. This is the first time I have used the Issue report method and though I was suppost to give all the info about my system. The pen on a Tablet PC works exactly the same as a mouse. When the pen touches the screen it acts like a press and hold left mouse click. The short-click/long-click would be an ok solution but subject to false positives (eg a "minus" sign in an equation could be interpreted as a short- click while a large, slowly drawn circle around a figure of interest would be captured as a long-click. I was thinking of having an option that when the drawing tools (perhaps toggle on/off by a small floating always on-top button during the presentation) are in use the mouse is no longer used for paging through the presentation. Instead the arrow-keys and page-up/page-down keys could be used. A final cool option would be that at the end of the presentation you have an option to "save-as" the changes made. Eg. You could save a copy of your presentation with all the new annotations that could then be e-mailed to the class. This would not only be a great feature for teachers, but if the students had the presentations ahead of time they could mark them up as the lecture goes on and then save all their notes for their own study purposes or for sharing with classmates. If you would like any further clarification please just ask. Jeff

This is a dupe of issue 26137. (Not the other way round, because the other issue has less noise.)
