As you develop a presentation in StarOffice, you'll probably want to run it as a slide show many times to see how it looks.
To start a slide show do any of the following:
Choose the slide show icon on the right edge of the StarOffice window.
Select Slide Show from the Presentation menu.
Press Ctrl+F2 (this might not work within some window managers, however).
After a few seconds, the first slide appears full-screen (see Figure 21.23).
Figure
21.23
The
slide show appears full-screen, enabling you to advance the slides with the
mouse or keyboard.
Note - You might notice a menu item called Display quality below the Slide show item on the View menu. This item only affects how the slides appear during editing. (A lower quality setting can improve system performance if you have graphic images in your slides.) The slide show is always presented in full color. |
You can control the slide show using the mouse or keyboard, depending on the settings that you selected in the Slide Show dialog box (described in the previous section). For example, if you've deselected Change slides on mouse click, none of the mouse events listed in the table that follows will function.
Table 21.1 describes how to interact with the slide show while it is running.
