Creating slides from an outline
When planning a presentation it is may be 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 150.
