Creating slides from an outline
As discussed in Chapter 1, when planning a presentation it is often
quite useful to develop an outline using OOo Writer. Once the outline is
ready, you will probably want to create one or more separate slides for
each of the top level outline elements. You can do this in several ways:
• Sending the outline from Writer to Impress (creates a new
presentation)
• Sending an autoabstract from Writer to Impress (creates a new
presentation)
• Copying and pasting the outline from Writer to Impress
Sending an outline from Writer to Impress
If a text document in Writer contains headings formatted with the
default Heading paragraph styles, you can choose File > Send >
Outline to Presentation to create a new presentation containing the
headings as an outline.
The new presentation opens in Outline view, as shown in Figure 140.
