Slide Show options
In the Range section, select which slides to include in the slide show:
•
All slides – includes all slides except for those slides marked Hidden (see “Hiding slides”
on page 202). Slides are shown in the sequence they occur in the file. To change the
sequence, either rearrange the slides in the slide sorter or choose a custom slide show
(see below).
•
From – starts the show at a slide other than the first slide. For example, you might have
several slides at the beginning that describe you and your company, but when you present
this show to your work colleagues, you may want to skip that introduction.
•
Custom Slide Show – shows the slides in a different sequence that you have previously
set up. This setting is not available until you have set up a custom slide show (see
“Showing slides in a different order” on page 202). You can set up as many different custom
shows as you wish from one set of slides and they will appear in the drop-down list under
this option.
In the Type section, select how the slides will be displayed:
•
Default – shows the slides full screen without the LibreOffice program controls visible and
exits the show after the last slide.
•
Window – runs the slide show in the Impress window and exits the show after the last
slide.
•
Auto – restarts the slide show after the last slide. A pause slide is displayed between the
last slide and the start slide. Press the Esc key to stop the show. In the box, specify the
length of time before the show restarts. If you enter zero, the show restarts immediately
without showing a pause slide. The Show Logo option shows the LibreOffice logo on the
pause slide.
In the Options section:
•
Change slides manually – prevents slides from changing automatically even if an
automatic transition has been set up.
•
Mouse pointer visible – shows the mouse pointer during a slide show. If you do not have
a laser pointer or other device to highlight items of interest during the show, this can be
useful.
•
Mouse pointer as pen – enables you to write or draw on slides during the presentation.
Anything you write with the pen is not saved when you exit the slide show. The color of the
pen cannot be changed.
•
Navigator visible – displays the Navigator during the slide show. For more information on
the Navigator, see Chapter 1 Introducing Impress in this guide.
•
Animations allowed – displays all frames of animated GIF files during the slide show. If
this option is not selected, only the first frame of an animated GIF file is displayed. This has
nothing to do with the slide animations described in “Using animation effects” on page 207.
•
Change slides by clicking on background – advances to the next slide when you click
on the background of a slide. You can also press the spacebar on the keyboard to advance
to the next slide.
•
Presentation always on top – prevents any other program window from appearing on top
of the presentation.
In the Multiple displays section:
•
You can select which display to use for full screen slide show mode. Only available if the
current computer desktop is displayed on more than one monitor.
•
If the current desktop is displayed on only one monitor, or if the multiple-display feature is
not supported on the current system, you cannot select another display.
•
By default the primary display is used for slide show mode.

Note
The multiple displays setting is not an option saved with the presentation file, but is
instead saved as a local setting in the user configuration. This means that if you open
the presentation on a different computer the local settings for that computer are
applied.
Hiding slides
You may not want to show all of the slides in a particular slide show. You can either hide some of
the slides or set up a custom slide show; whichever method suits your requirements. For example,
you may have draft slides that you do not want to show until they are finished, or you may have
some slides that contain information for yourself, but not your audience.
To hide a slide:
1) In the Slides pane, or in Slide Sorter view, select the slides that you want to hide.
2) Click the Hide Slide icon
on the Slide View toolbar (Figure 168), or right-click and
select Hide Slide from the context menu, or go to Slide Show > Hide Slide on the main
menu bar. The slide is now displayed grayed out to indicate that it is hidden (Figure 169).
The slide is not deleted and remains in the file. The Hide Slide icon is only active when a
slide is selected in your presentation.
Figure 168: Slide View toolbar
Figure 169: Slide 2 is hidden
To show a hidden slide:
1) In the Slides pane, or in Slide Sorter view, select the hidden slides that you want to show.
2) Click the Show Slide icon
on the Slide View toolbar (Figure 168), or right-click and
select Show Slide from the context menu, or go to Slide Show > Show Slide on the main
menu bar. The Slide Show icon is only active when the hidden slides are selected in your
presentation.
Showing slides in a different order
To show the slides in a different order, you can either rearrange them in the slide sorter, or set up a
custom slide show. You can define as many custom slide shows as you require from one set of
slides.
In a custom slide show, you can select which slides to include as well as the order in which they
are shown. Any hidden slides will not appear in a custom show.

Note
If you include several slides at the same time, they are added to the Selected slides
list in the order they appear in your presentation regardless of the order in which you
selected them. To put the selected slides in a different order, either select and include
each slide individually or select a slide and drag it up or down in the selected slide
list. You can also use the Slide Sorter view to rearrange the order of slides before
making your selection.
Tip
Slides are added to the Selected slides list after the slide that is currently highlighted
in the list. By default, the last slide added is highlighted unless you have selected a
different one. For example, in Figure 171, to add the slide Final Slide Example after
the First Slide Example and before Slide2, make sure that First Slide Example is
highlighted before moving Final Slide Example into Selected slides list.
Editing, deleting, or copying a custom slide show
1) To edit a custom slide show (add, remove, or change the order of slides, or change the
name of the show), select it in the Custom Slide Shows dialog (Figure 170) and click Edit.
2) To delete a custom slide show, select it in the Custom Slide Shows dialog and click Delete.
Deletion is immediate and no confirmation message appears.
3) To create a copy of a slide show, select it in the Custom Slide Shows dialog and click
Copy. You can now edit the copy by renaming and adding, removing, or changing the order
of slides in it.
4) You can preview your custom slide show from the Custom Slide Shows dialog if the Use
Custom Slide Show option is selected. Select the slide show from the list and click on
Start.
5) When you have finished working with custom slide shows, click Close to save all changes
and close the Custom Slide Shows dialog.
Using slide transitions
Slide transitions are the effects that take place between slides when slides change in a
presentation. Transitions can add a professional look to a slide show, smoothing the change over
between slides.
Adding transitions
1) In the Tasks pane, select Slide Transition (Figure 172).
2) In the Slides pane or Slide Sorter view, select the slides to which you want to apply the
transition. If you want the transition to apply to all slides, do not select any slides.
3) In the Apply to selected slides list, select a transition.
4) Modify the selected transition by changing the speed or adding a sound, in the Modify
transition section. If you decide to play a sound during transitions, select a sound from the
Sound list.
5) If a sound is selected, the Loop until next sound option becomes active. Select this
option to play the sound repeatedly until another sound starts. If there are no subsequent
sounds in your slide show, the selected sound will play continuously for the remainder of
the show.

6) Select how to advance to the next slide: manually (On mouse click) or automatically
(Automatically after). If you select an automatic advance, you can specify how long the
slide remains visible before it automatically advances to the next slide.
7) If you want the transition to apply to all slides, click Apply to All Slides.
8) To start the slide show from the current slide so you can check your transitions, click Slide
Show.
9) If the Automatic preview checkbox is marked, the effect of a selected transition is
immediately displayed in the work area. You can replay the effect at any time by clicking
Play.
Tip
You can apply a single type of transition to all slides in the presentation or apply a
different transition to any single slide in the slide show. While using many different
transitions may be fun to do, it may not give your slide show a professional
appearance.
Tip
If you want most of the slides in your slide show to have the same transition and only
use a few different transitions, you may find it easier to apply one transition to all
slides and then change only the ones you want to be different.

Note
Do not click the Apply to all button; otherwise your selected sound will restart at
every slide.
Note
The sound file is linked to a presentation rather than embedded. Therefore if you plan
to display the presentation on a different computer, remember that you also have to
make the sound file available on the computer where the presentation will be played,
and re-establish the link to the sound file before starting the slide show.
Using animation effects
Slide animations are similar to transitions, but they are applied to individual elements in a single
slide: title, chart, shape, or individual bullet point. Animations can make a presentation more lively
and memorable. Just as with transitions, heavy use of animations can be fun, but distracting and
even annoying for an audience expecting a professional presentation.
Animation effects are applied from Normal view so that you can select individual objects on a
single slide.
Note
At present it is not possible to apply animation effects to the slide master elements.
This means that if you want to display the items in a text box one by one, and use the
same animation on more than one slide, you need to apply the effects to each slide,
or alternatively copy the text box from one slide to another.
Applying animation effects
In Normal view, display the desired slide and then select the text or object you want to animate. An
object such as a graphic or an entire text box will have selection handles around it when selected.
If you choose only a portion of the text in a text box, you may not see any selection handles.
1) Go to View > Normal on the main menu bar, or click on the Normal tab in the Workspace.
2) Select the slide and the object you want to apply the animation effect to.
3) In the Tasks pane, select Custom Animation (Figure 173) and then click Add to open the
Custom Animation dialog (Figure 174).
4) Select the animation effect types from one of the tabbed pages on the Custom Animation
dialog. More than one type of animation effect can be applied to an object.
a) Use the Entrance page to be apply an animation effect when an object is placed on the
screen.
b) Use the Emphasis page to apply an animation effect to an object, for example changing
font color, or adding special effects such as blinking text.
c) Use the Exit page to apply an animation effect when an object leaves the screen.
d) If you want the object to move along a line or curve, select an animation effect from the
Motion Paths page. An example of this type of animation is provided in “Setting up a
motion path” on page 212.
5) Select the duration of the animation effect from the Speed drop down list.
6) If required, select Automatic preview so you can check the animation effect on the object.
