1.

Request a Presentation

Select

Presentation from the

OpenOffice.org Windows menu. Impress opens the

Presentation Wizard dialog box from which you can start a new presentation or, in this case, select an existing presentation. Click the option labeled

Open existing presentation to see a list of Impress presentations in your default folder.

You can also open Microsoft PowerPoint presentations in Impress, although these files are not listed in the Presentation Wizard. To view any Microsoft PowerPoint files in your default folder, or to browse to other folders for additional Impress files, click

Open to display the

Open dialog box, where you can browse to any folder location and select a file. Impress also shows a graphic preview of the first slide in any Impress presentation in the

Presentation Wizard 's preview area when you click to select the presentation.

Although you would think Impress would give you an

Open button, instead you must click the

Create button to open your selected presentation.

2.

Edit or Run the Newly Opened Presentation

Once Impress loads the presentation, you are free to run or edit it.

3.

Open Another Presentation

Once inside Impress, if you want to open a second presentation, select

File, Open from the menu. Impress displays the

Open dialog box from which you can select a presentation to open.

TIP

If you want to close your existing presentation before opening another one, select

File, Close to do so. If you've made changes since you last saved the presentation, Impress gives you the opportunity to save the presentation before closing it.

4.

Select a Presentation

From the

Open dialog box, select the presentation you wish to open and click the

Open button. Impress opens the presentation, and you can edit or run the presentation.
