hey,
I saw a lot of people using a summary slide that had thumbnails of some of their slides. Can this be done in Impress?
Thanks,
Alex
@alexka - What you explain looks similar to what I am doing. I will briefly describe it and you can take it as it is or modify according to your needs.
In my summary slide I use from about 3-7 small images of the most important slides. These slides have always mostly graphical elements which I want the audience to remember during the wrap up. Pictures stick more than words.
To get the small images I select the content of the slide without the title and without logo, footer etc. The omitted elements do not contribute to information but just clutter the image.
Next steps
- ctrl+c to copy all selected elements into clipboard
- Go to the target slide
- click into the target slide
- ctrl+shift+v (= paste special) and select GDI metafile (you also could use “bitmap”)
- click on one of the four corners, press shift and adjust the image size to what I need (when press shift the side ratio stays constant)
I feel that this way is better than a real thumb nail an entire slide, therefore I described it.
If you like you can even set an interaction to small image which can bring you back to the original slide in case of questions.
