Re: [libreoffice-users] formatting

     Could we be more detailed in this thread, please? I don't know 
what mean when you ask "So you're able to change the text on all the 
slides?" What type of change are you talking about? Are you talking 
about changing the font of the text on all the slides?
     You have not even stated what style you have applied to your text. 
Nor have you stated what styles you are using in your slides. Nor have 
you described what layout you have selected from the Layout section of 
the Task Pane. Please give us some details.
     I was using styles in Impress before OOo 2.0. For all layouts 
which have a title "box" at the top of the page, LO and AOO apply the 
Title style listed in the Presentation styles list. Modifying this style 
modifies all the titles in all the slides at the same time. You have a 
copy of my slide show. Change one of the styles in the Title style and 
look at the titles in all the styles. For example, in the Font Effects 
tab, change the font color. This will change the font color for every 
slide title in the presentation. What I have described is how Impress 
has worked for "years."
