Chapter 5: Creating Presentations With Impress

Exporting, Printing and Presenting

There are many possible ways of outputting finished presentation documents. For example,

electronically display finished presentations, print the pages in colour on paper or print high

resolution transparencies, or transfer them wholly or partially to other applications and then

use them within those applications. Printing offers a choice between outputting the document

directly to a printer, or printing it to a file that may then be copied to a printer.

Printing a Presentation Slide

In Impress, the current document is easily printed by clicking the Print File Directly icon in

the Standard toolbar. Printing is immediate, according to the printer default settings, and no

dialogue appears. There is an exception in text documents where a certain area of text is

selected and, in this instance, a dialogue appears upon clicking the Print icon. This dialogue

asks for confirmation of printing the whole text or only the selected area.

When printing via the Print dialogue, Impress offers choices of whether to print only a

selected range of pages, only certain pages identified by their page numbers or all pages of

the document. Take a look at the print dialogue, which is opened via File > Print or by

pressing Ctrl+P.

The appearance of the Print dialogue may vary according to the selected printer. However, in

most cases, there are options to specify whether to print the entire presentation, certain slides,

or only the current selection. Other options specify how many copies to print and how these

should be collated.

Click the Options... button in the Print dialogue to display additional options. When printing

text, drawing and presentation documents, the Brochure option is available for two-to-a-page

text on a single sheet. The size of the pages is reduced and printed in two columns per page

and double-sided, so that the pages need only be folded and fastened in the middle to create a

complete brochure.

Since presentation objects are usually in the form of vector graphics, they can be printed out

in any resolution supported by the local printer or film recorder. Where the slides are to be

sent to a film recording service or to be printed on a high-resolution colour printer in a print

shop, mark the Print to file check box in the Print dialogue. It will then be printed to a file

that can be sent to the film recording service or commercial printer.

Note: first install and select the printer driver for the printer or film recorder that will be used by the printing or

film recording service. Most printing and film recording services require files created for a PostScript printer. If

there is no PostScript printer available, OpenOffice.org permits installation of a PostScript printer driver that can

be used to print to a file. On UNIX-based systems, use

spadmin

to active this driver.
