1.

Open Your Presentation

Select

File, Open from the menu and select the presentation you want to run.

TIP

Most presentations are given in front of an audience, often from a laptop plugged into an overhead projector. Walk through this task of running your presentation before your audience arrives to ensure that you have the overhead connected properly to your laptop.

2.

Start Your Presentation as a Slide Show

You now can select

Slide Show, Slide Show Settings from the menu to prepare for your presentation. Impress displays the dialog box.

3.

Specify Slide Show Settings

Many of your

Slide Show dialog box settings are determined when you create your presentation, although you can always change them here at the

Slide Show dialog box. You'll be able to select all or just a range of slides (from the

From list box) as well as determine how your slide show will display (either in the default full-screen mode or in a smaller window). You can display the OpenOffice.org logo (assuming you'd want to do that) by clicking the

Show logo option. Also, you can set the pause time between presentations that show from the

Auto option.

TIP

Most presenters prefer to keep their mouse pointer showing during a presentation, although the

Mouse pointer visible option can hide your mouse pointer if you wish. During your presentation, you can use your mouse pointer to point out items of interest to your audience.

For example, if the

Change slides manually option is unchecked, you originally created this presentation to display automatically, without intervention. If you're speaking and using the presentation to support your speech, you'll probably not want the automatic changing of slides that occurs. Instead, you will want to move from slide to slide when you're ready to do so. If your audience has questions along the way or if you decide to cover a topic longer than you originally planned, you need full control over your presentation. So in such a case, ensure that

Change slides manually is checked.

TIP

Using the

Navigator visible option, you can display the

Navigator dialog box during your presentation so you can more easily navigate between pages and graphic elements instead of moving sequentially through your slide show.

Once you've set the options that suit your current presentation, click the

OK button to close the

Slide Show dialog box.

4.

Start Your Slide Show

To start your slide show, select

Slide Show from the

Slide Show menu (or press

F9 ) when you're ready to begin your presentation.
