Impress uses styles and templates the same way other OpenOffice.org mod-
ules do. See
(page 123) for more information about templates.
3.4.2 Using Master Pages
Master pages give your presentation a consistent look by defining the way each slide
looks, what fonts are used, and other graphical elements. Impress uses two types of
master pages:
• Slide Master
Contains elements that appear on all slides. For example, you might want your
company logo to appear in the same place on every slide. The slide master also
determines the text formatting style for the heading and outline of every slide that
uses that master page, as well as any information you want to appear in a header
or footer.
• Notes Master
Determines the formatting and appearance of the notes in your presentation.
Creating a Slide Master
Impress comes with a collection of preformatted master pages. Eventually, most users
will want to customize their presentations by creating their own slide masters.
1 Start Impress, then create a new empty presentation.
2 Click View > Master > Slide Master.
This opens the current slide master in Master View.
3 Right-click the left-hand panel, then click New Master.
4 Edit the slide master until it has the desired look.
5 Click Close Master View or View > Normal to return to Normal View.
