Building a Presentation
Both PowerPoint (PP) & Impress (I) provide an easy to follow 'wizard' to build the most
common slide show or presentations which of course are business orientated - so

it yourself.
The Impress
Wizard is very
easy to use
Doing it yourself!

You'll have noticed that they all have very similar appearances. The
window is split into different areas. It is very useful to know what
these different areas are called because then the 'Help' function can
actually be helpful!
In almost every

windows
environment there
are only two 'fixed'
bars. The blue
'title bar' that tells
you what program
you are running
and the file you

other panes and
tool-bars can be
loaded &
unloaded, initially
