Applies the selected slide master to the current slide, or to any slides you
select before applying the slide master. For example, if you want to apply a

change to Master View and apply a slide master to that slide.
3.5 Using Databases with Base
OpenOffice.org includes a database module, Base. Use Base to design a database to
store many different kinds of information, from a simple address book or recipe file to
a sophisticated document management system.
Tables, forms, queries, and reports can be created manually or using convenient wizards.
For example, the Table Wizard contains a number of common fields for business and
personal use. Databases created in Base can be used as data sources, such as when
creating form letters.
It is beyond the scope of this document to detail database design with Base. More infor-
mation can be found at the sources listed in

3.5.1 Creating a Database Using Predefined
Options
Base comes with several predefined database fields to help you create a database. The
steps in this section are specific to creating an address book using predefined fields,
but it should be easy to follow them to use the predefined fields for any of the built-in
database options.
The process for creating a database can be broken into several subprocesses:
•
Section "Creating the Database"
•
Section "Setting Up the Database Table"
•
Section "Creating a Form"
•
Section "Modifying the Form"
Section 3.8, "Finding Help and Information
