Formulas
Use Insert > Object > Formula to create a Math object in a slide. When editing a
formula, the main menu changes into the Math main menu.
Care should be taken about the font sizes used in order to make them compatible
with the font size used in the rest of the slide. To change the font attributes of the
Math object, select Format > Font Size from the main menu bar. To change the font
type, select Format > Fonts from the main menu bar.
For additional information on how to create formulas, refer to Chapter 9 (Getting
Started with Math) in the Getting Started guide, or the Math Guide.
Note
Unlike formulas in Writer, a formula in Impress is treated as an object;
therefore it will not be automatically aligned with the rest of the text.
The formula can be however moved around (but not resized) like any
other object.
Inserting the contents of a file
You can insert the contents of certain files into a presentation. The types of file
accepted are OpenOffice.org Draw file, HTML files or plain text files.
Select Insert > File from the main menu to open a file picker window. If there is an
internet connection, it is also possible to insert a URL in the file name field. Select
the file and click Insert.
